    Welcome from Beautiful Arizona.

    Go to the library and get a stack of quilting books. Look for titles like Easy Quilt Blocks, or One Block Quilts, or any book that has the word easy in the title.

    Maybe there is a quilting guild in your area.

    Find out if one of the local churches has a quilting group you can join - quilters love to teach new quilters all they know.

    Ask friends and have friends ask their friends you have not met yet; maybe one of them is a quilter and would love to share their knowledge with you.

    And...continue to check out this board.

    yes, youtube videos are great.I learned by going to several sites. If you have that "WANT" you will learn at your own pace.

    Hi, that's ok if you don't know how to quilt, you will learn. I am learning how to hand quilt, I find it very relaxing (but my furbaby doesn't always let me quilt). I haven't really machine quilted, maybe I'll try some day.

    Welcome from North Carolina. I am still learning and I try all kinds of ways on my own. I have not got to the point of really good yet. But you can use the quilts, which is what they are for. All the advise you have on here is great.
