Howdy and welcome, from Texas! I learned to sew, as a child, but when I started quilting, I did mostly smaller craft items (tree skirt, etc.), to get the feel of the technique. I also made lots of different blocks (just something I enjoy). By starting small, you can learn the art, without feeling overwhelmed; it's also easy to just start over, if something goes crazy and ends up completely lop-sided . . . not that I'm admitting anything! :shock: Just get some pretty but inexpensive fabric and have fun! Start simple and learn as you go. :thumbup:

BTW, I'm still in the "learning" phase, with quilting . . . but having a blast! My work is far from perfect but no one is judging. :D

Welcome from Oregon. Remember we see with 1/4" seams. And there are so many shortcuts available. You might want to get a beginners book on quilting.
