Glad you found this board. You will get all sorts of wonderful help here on just about any subject. I too am from WV, (Princeton, Mercer County), and started making quilts about 6 years ago. Once you get your stash built up (I got my first stashs from haunting thrift shops, goodwill, etc, buying pillowcases (Lots of fabric in them...) dresses, mens shirts, and so on. Washing, ironing and cutting them into fat quarters, or strips. Good luck, and keep it up.
