You could try the one I did for my daughter (below).

It was very easy, the blocks were large and it took very little time. (I did make a queen where the pattern called for a lap quilt). It's from Pat Sloan's book "I can't believe I'm quilting beyone the basics" here is the book on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Sloans-Believe.../dp/1601406827
What ever you decide, I wish you the very best! It's great fun!

I found the friendship star to be quite easy. I make my blocks so they are 12" x 12".

My first quilt was a 9 patch. That was so long ago that I don't remember if my corners lined up or not,probably not. How about a 4 patch alternated with a -plain block of the same size. Plain blocks like that can be surprisingly attractive.
