I have been quilting for about 4 years now. If you are artistic, it will flow more naturally for you. I learn by watching, so watching videos on quilting help me the best. I also use a dry erase board to practice(I can quilt better than I can draw...so the dry erase drawings always are worse than how I quilt it). Look up Matt Sparrow, he is an awesome quilter. He has live stream videos that you can watch online.
