Howdy & welcome from Texas. You are going to love this quilting board. There is always tons of information & ideas for you to learn from. Missouri Star Quilt Company owned by Jenny Doan has some fantastic tutorials that you can follow & learn from. She makes all of her quilts with pre-cut fabric but you can use yardage if you don't like pre-cuts.
Here's a list of tons of her tutorials. Just click on the blue tutorial links & have fun. Also, learn to post pictures. We love pictures & want to see your first quilt.
