Hi, Depending on what part of Texas you're from (I live just north of Houston, but grew up in Tyler), I'd suggest two things--classes, preferably at a quilt store ,and/or joining a guild or other sewing group. Other sewing groups often start out at a community center, local college or church. Start simple and build on your skills. There are some good books on the essential basics of quilting (check library if you don't want to buy) and loads of information on the web.
