None of us were perfect quilters overnight. Ask around to see if there is someone in your area that you could consult with, at least for problems. Don't be discouraged. It's like learning anything, it takes a lot of practice and it's okay if things don't always turn out perfect the first time. Start with easy patterns and work up gradually. Take a class or two if there are some in your area. Check to see if there is a quilt guild anywhere near you. Ask for tips at your local quilt shop if there is one. Watch some good videos on line. Check out the Missouri Quilt Company for those. Surf for easy patterns and instructions. Just keep on keeping on and you will improve dramatically.
