I am new to this,I have been sewing for many years and have a lot books on quilting but never made a quilt.I am excited to try but want to start with something easy.

Welcome to the board. Rail fence or a 9 patch are easy blocks. I actually started with a sampler so I learned a lot of techniques on my first quilt.

I am hoping you all can help

That's what we're here for, hon.

maybe start sewing some blocks and put together a sampler quilt? :D:D:D
Here are some wonderful lessons put together by one of our members :D

thank you, I will try that,I guess I needed a little push

Rail and fence is very easy and makes a beautiful quilt. You found a great place to come and get advice welcome!!!

thank you,I can see I have help

thank you

I made a log cabin for my first quilt. I took a class and was taught how to use a rotary cutter. Haven't looked back sine. The log cabin is still my favorite!
