I made my first quilt from watching tutorials on YouTube and checking books out of the library. My grandmother had taught me to quilt when I was young girl, but I had never pieced before and was a bit apprehensive about that. I mean,it had been close to 50 yrs. since I had quilted. My first effort came out respectable enough, but I decided to take a class at my LQS soon after. WOW!. I learned so much. The teacher was great and I had so much fun. I wish I had had the tips and techniques she taught me when I made my first quilt. Perhaps I would not have struggled so much. I look forward to taking more classes as time and money allow. Unfortunately, she has moved across country, but we'll see what the next teacher has to offer.
