    A nice lap quilt would be 4 12" or 10" blocks by 6 blocks. Add borders to get the finished size you would like.

    Check out the patterns I put in the Tutorial section. They are very easy :wink:

    D9P patch quilts are easy too!!!
    thank you for the site and God bless. Penny

    I began with a nine patch, sounds a little boring but believe me you can achieve some wonderful arrangements through good colour choices and pretty fabrics to make a stunning quilt with a simple beginning, especially when it is done on point.

    Thanks!
    Yellow Brick Road, Rail Fence, E Z Bricks, 9-Patch, Snowball are all good ones for beginners
