Hello and Welcome :D :D :D
Have you looked at the Tutorial section of the board? Shelly Q has 4 that are geared for beginners! She even shows what the blocks look like in a quilt on some. AND there are lots of pictures to help explain each step!
A whole cloth quilt would be good maybe after you practice hand quilting, in my opinion. I think your stitches would not show up as much on a pieced quilt, if they are not perfectly even. Other's here may be better able to help you with this question, though. :wink:
