I suggest that you go to Quilts for Kids and see the pattern there. It's such a good beginner's piece and really is a cute quilt. It can be made any size you want it to be. Also go to quilterscache.com for lots and lots of free patterns. You can choose one that you think you can do. Good luck and Welcome to our world!
P.S. The suggestion given above about going to the tutorials at Missouri Star Quilting Co. is a great idea.
