For sure take a class just find one that is at a beginner level you will be shocked at how much you can learn! I do classes of a lot of small projects for new quilters. Mostly small items wallhangings, BOM with a new tecnique each month, placemats etc. This way it isn't too stressful and is fun and a great way to make new quilting friends. Quilters generally love to share as shown on this board.
