There are a number of books out now with very simple quilts but beautiful. Most are fairly large pieces, such as 4 patch and rectangles and large squares. Use of colors is what makes these sparkle. But starting with something like that will teach you cutting, perfecting our 1/4 " seams, etc. All things you need to know to progress into other quilts that are progressively more complicated. I would suggest starting with a lap robe or a twin size first so your not overwhelmed.
