If you are totally new at quilting I suggest trying an Elenor Burns "Quilt in a Day" book of some kind. She gives step by step instructions to complete the quilt and are quite a lot of hints to help in any project. Very good for beginners. Check out her web site

A nine patch is the way to go. They are easy and they teach you to match corners. and you can separate each block with a white block to make it go together faster. I took a sampler class for my second quilt and I learned so many things and different methods, but you can just dive into some of the simpler quilts on your own and do fine. Be sure to read the directions through and then maybe make a practice block of what ever you decide.
Another good one is Warm Wishes, google it for the directions. Good luck and have fun.

There is a website that is called "Teacher's Pet" they have a wondeful begginer pattern called "take 3" or there is one called "take 5" The idea is you take 3 fabrics or 5 fabrics and make an easy quilt. I have made several of these for gifts. They are great !

Hey there,
Try the turning twenty books or any of the fat quarter friendly books until you figure out how big ya wanna go and how much fabric you wanna buy. Picking out fabric becomes addicting!!! Good Luck!!!
