Another vote for the QuiltersCache site. I've been teaching myself the last couple of months, and started there with their basic lessons and simple patterns.
Then took on an Easter Wall Hanging ... and discovered I hated PPing. Truth be known, it was because the pieces were too teeny-tiny for this newbie.
Since then I've done some of my FQS blocks via PPing and have now discovered it's not so bad! So first project was the problem!!! :)
Though now ........ you have me scared to fulfill my end of the deal, and make CandleQuilter's CandleQuilter block in "payment" for her pattern!! YIKES!!! what have I committed to?
