Hi Lisalisa!!! We were all in your shoes at one time...over time and with lots of experience you develop your skills. Don't ever be afraid to ask for help or any questions here. All of us encourage new quilters and are happy to offer suggestions, instructions, etc.
Take some time to get to know what's on this board. There's a SEARCH feature above where you can find many many discussions on any quilting topic you can think of.
Have fun!! And we welcome new quilters with open arms!!
Janice
