The one quilt I did which I really like and was super easy was the Jacobs Ladder. I only used 2 colors and it turned out great. I used a darker blue pattern fabric for the ladder part and and white with a light blue pattern for the back ground. You should try this one. Really easy and all squares. :thumbup:
Pinwheels are really easy if you use the two square process. Take one light and one dark square right sides together. Sew a quarter inch seam all around the four outer edges. Now cut on both diagonals. Lay them out to form pinwheels and sew them together. No sewing little triangles.
