Are there any quilt programs on TV in your area?
Eleanor Burns is on the RFD channel and you might want to check for Fons and Porter and America Sews with Sue. I have DISH TV so those are the programs currently running.
As the other members have suggested, Google quilt tuts or just check out the tutorials the wonderful members have posted here! Give it a little time and you'll find yourself wondering just what it was that you thought was so complicated! :thumbup:
