Welcome from Texas. I'm so glad you have moved to "serious" about quilting. You will find this board to be very friendly, helpful & fun. Quilting is something you develop at your own pace. Don't compare yourself to your friends as everyone advances differently. The important thing is that you have fun & enjoy what you are doing without the stress of having to compete with others. A quilter may never moved past the beginner stage but if she/he is loving what they are doing that's perfectly o.k. Some quilters get to very advanced/professionals and are so stressed about perfection that they can't enjoy the love of quilting. How wonderful to have had the inspiration from your grandmother.
Oh, and don't forget....we love pictures! Show us your quilts.
