I'm a new quilter and need to find a pattern for 2 baby quilts with the theme of Cowboy and Cowgirl (1 of each), my cousin is having twins and I would love to make her a couple of quilts. However, I'm new so I will need something for a beginner or at least a pattern that is easily followed.
Can anyone suggest a pattern or have any ideasor advice that I might be able to follow?
Thank you in advance, I look forward to hearing back from fellow quilters.

Welcome to the board from Southern California!!!!

Any beginner pattern would work if you have fabrics with the Cowboy or Cowgirl theme. A favorite of mine at the beginning of my quilting was Yellow Brick Road. You will get lots of suggestions here.

Hi and welcome from upstate New York!

How about a 9 patch alternated with a square of the cowboy/girl fabric?

Check out this.... it is adorable and will go well with your quilts!!!

Hi! Welcome from Illinois. The "Rail Fence" pattern is a good beginners pattern.
