Go ahead and get signed up for a Quilting 101 class as soon as you can. In the meantime go on the internet and find a free pattern for a small quilt (baby/crib) or placemats or pot holders and jump right in! Before my class I bought 2 charm packs and cut them in halves and quarters and pieced them together into a really cute baby quilt top. But I didn't know how to sandwich it all together, quilt it and put on the binding until I took the class. But there are lots of great basic quilting books and web tutorials you can review to pick up these basics too.
