There are tons of quilting videos for beginners on u-tube. Also try Missouri Star Quilt Co videos. They are really well explained and easy. Do a first quilt with only a few blocks, maybe make placemats or potholders, or table toppers until you kind of get the hang of it. Ask at your local quilt shop about a Quilt Guild or a local church quilting group. They can offer lots of encouragement and help. Church groups usually make simple quilts and the ladies are eager to help you get started while you contribute to a worth cause. If you know someone who quilts ask them if they will be backup. Buy a good quilt book for beginners. Post questions on this board. We re always willing to help.
