I also am a beginner at quilting,and any help from you all will be great. I have the material, but patterns are limited.

Oh-Oh, apologies. It looks as if this pattern has the seams down the center of the "top surface". I'd prefer the original with "Y" seams; but those are certainly lovely!

Ok, everyone, it was a child's memory, so I will hold off on that, well I can at least look at the patterns.
So what would be the easiest for a beginner to do?
Plain block squares ? I did find something like that.
So would appreciate any help on that, and thanks beforehand,
which I will definately need help!

How about a Rail Fence quilt pattern, they are easy and look effective. If you google "free rail fence quilt patterns" or "free beginner quilt patterns" it comes up with so many wonderful patterns. Or use the search button here on the quilting board, just next to the logout button and try either rail fence or beginners quilt patterns and see what comes up. Also have a look at the tutorial section here on the board, so many wonderful members have put clear instructions on various patterns. The disappearing nine patch (D9P) is another great pattern that has a great tutorial. Just give someting a go and if you get stuck all you need to do is ask for help here.
Hope this has helped a bit :D

Try a simple 9 patch alternating with a solid square.
these look great and will give you a good start.
I think alot of people try quilting with a difficult pattern and then get discouraged and quit!
Once you get one project done it will encourage you to try other patterns.
If you need help PM me and I can email you a PDF file with the pattern.
