I look through quilt magazines and I've been to just a few sites, but it all looks so daunting. The only patterns I've done are four patches and rail fence. Do you guys have any ideas??
Thanks in advance,

I used the freequilts.com website and found an easy pattern using 10 1/2" squares. I think it was from Claudia's Quilt Shop. The pattern is called, "Big Blocks." I can work on it from start to finish in about 2-3 days time. It's very simple.

It was a big hit, but my favorite part was looking at the very personalized handprints and remembering that person.

I stumbled on Eleanor Burns, Quilting guru, when I started making quilts. Her instructions are well planned, step by step and easy to follow! I buy almost all of my quilt books second hand as I am on a fixed income. Try Goodwill Stores and any other second-hand book stores. The easiest pattern I found was Eleanor's Irish chain pattern. Her products are listed online at 'quiltinaday.com'. I have also had much luck on alibris.com. They have nearly every book ever printed, and the prices start at $1.99! Good luck and may the quilting bug bite you gently. lol!
