I'm in my 30s, so a bit older, but I learned to quilt by visiting the Senior Center and the "quilt ladies" there. There is a world of knowledge in that group (our oldest is almost 101 years old!) I'm definitely the youngest, but they are a great group and so funny! One of them led me to this board.
I learn a combination of ways, so also check out youtube, but having someone right there when I have questions is priceless.
