Hello! I am about to embark on my second quilt. The first one I made in high school for a project, and now I want to make one for my mom for her birthday at the end of February.

So, I'm curious if anyone can help me with a good pattern for a beginner, or a good block style that has great meaning from a daughter to a mother.

Any help would be appreciated so much!!!

Thank you!

Aurora

This link will take you lots of treads from beginners asking for help. Check out advice offered them. This may help you on your search.

I like the rail fence for a beginner's quilt. There are lots of patterns to choose from. Keep up posted as you work on the quilt.:)

Try the ten minute block (a few hours and its done)....very easy...or the Go Square block (I can make the top in a day). I have a bunch of free patterns on my blog. the link is on my signature.

Nine Patch and Rail Fence are good patterns for beginners.

Rail Fence was my firt quilt. Two other simple ones are Yellow Brick Road and Take 5.

Welcome from Michigan! My first quilt was the "Quilt in a day log cabin" by Eleanor Burns. I found it to be a great book, she is a wonderful teacher. I still have the book, with my little pieces of fabric attached! That was many, many moons ago! Your First Quilt Book (or it should be!) by Carol Doak is also an excellent book.

I like warm wishes, or rail fence or even the Yellow Brick Road pattern.
