Welcome from Spokane, Wa! I would suggest a beginner class that does a lap size sampler! You learn the basics of using a rotary cutter and mat, seam allowances, how to square up blocks, add borders, binding, etc. They usually only go a few weeks but you really learn the basics. I sewed clothes for years and learned a LOT in my beginner class for quilting. Then gift that quilt to someone special and make sure you put a label on it! DH got mine and he loves it!
