Hand quilting is so relaxing. I'm sure you would enjoy it once you get started. I was self taught, but now days there is so much on the internet that I'm sure with a search it could get you started. Your stitches may not be perfect to start with, (mine are still not, and I've been doing it for maybe 40 years!) but as said many times here on the board, there are no quilt police. All I can say is "just do it!!"
