Nine patch is a good one. Please don't start her on Log cabins. I started on Log cabins and got so bored I stop after a crib-size one and didn't go back to quilting for 2 years!!!!

I made the log cabin in my first quilt class. a Quilt in a Day bood by Eleanor Burns. I loved it and there are so many ways you can arrange the squares to create varied looks for your quilt.

I would use disappearing 9 patch...this is what I use in the beginning quilting class. It is easy but has a wide variety of looks.

I'm all for Yellow Brick Road. It allows for a lot of play, the blocks are large and not-fussy, and it can be made up from many different color palettes.

Also, YBR comes in several sizes - wall hanging to king.
