You are certainly better than I am.
I am taking a beginning quilt class at my LQS for $35 plus fabric and batting. It's four weeks and each session is two hours. I can't tell you how much I've learned. On Monday we bind our first quilts! :)
I am so glad to took this class. I learned a lot, and made new friends. I also now know the in's and out's of my LQS.
