I'd do a snowball quilt - very easy, and you can use a variety of scrappy fabrics and do SID and then maybe do a little handquilting in the squares of various motifs....ie, flowers, stars or whatever. It would be the perfect quilt to do prairie points on the edge of the quilt (another new thing to learn & easy!). Please show us when you're done and have fun!

Look at patterns for sale at the Buggy Barn website. They are great begnning patterns, because there are no seams to line up. The blocks are large, so the quilt is quickly made. Basically what you do is stack fabrics together, slice them apart to make the pattern pieces, shuffle them, then each layer is a block ready to sew back together. Because the seam allowances are not added into each pattern piece, the outside edges of the block turn out wonky, so you just square up each block when done. Easy peasy!
