Welcome to the quilting world. Join a local quilt guild if you can. Most quilters are happy to share their knowledge with a new quilter.

I have only done a few paper-piece projects so far, but want to learn traditional block and scrap quilting.

Hey, also from TN. Head to the library if you have to have a book, but tutorials online are FABULOUS in teaching techniques. Watch several and pick which technique works best for you. Good luck!!

try an Eleanor Burns quilt book . I learned a lot from her. also you go online and watch some of her programs. Log cabin quilt is very easy, straight strip pieces.
