Believe me, we all started where you are! I learned tips from other quilters and from reading tons of quilting magazines and websites with free tutorials and tips...but mostly by practicing!!! Keep going and keep it simple until you have your technique perfected, then branch out. I am by no means a "master quilter" and we all have room to grow. What would be the fun of quilting if we were all perfect??? There would be no uniqueness, is that a word? :)
