If you want to do simple patterns using only squares and rectangles, check out the free patterns available on the internet (at such sites as mentioned by other members). Then go to any store where you can purchase school supplies. Pick up one package of graph paper and one box of colored pencils. From there, you can create any number of beautiful designs you can think of. The simplicity of the simple square, perhaps combined with a simple rectangle, can create some of the most elegant quilts!
