Bella, that is such a funny story. You are now known as "Fearless Bella" what a woman :!:
I guess I am self taught, there wasn't quilt classes around when I started and they are kinda out of my price range now. But now you have the internet and can look up soooo much and there are even vidio tutorials. That helps me, I am a gotta see person more than a reading about it. I think if the price is reasonable for you and you luck out and get a good teacher (that shows up :wink: ) you can learn a lot. But I feel quilting is a personal thing. You have to find out what type you are. Hurry up and get it done? Do you enjoy the prep work more than putting it together? Do you like taking your time? Do you like paper piecing? (more structured)Do you prefer applique? There are so many things to consider when starting and until you try several things you don't know if that is what you like. Maybe if classes aren't an option you could look for a mentor that might help you find your calling :D
