Welcome from florida, and we all have a lot to learn about quilting. It's as diverse as the fish in the sea...that's one of the things that's so great about it :D
You just jump in, and start splashing around, and learn as you go along, while looking at books, mags, and tutes on this site, and post questions when you hit a bump, and pictures, when you get over the bump!
We loooove pictures, and you are in for so much fun :wink:
