Hello and welcome from Alabama. I would not recomend that you start paper piecing.
Start with 9 patch, snowball, pattern thats what my sister teaches her first time students. Well of course I failed misserbly, but I kept at it, sure beats watching re-runs.... and when you get past the free patterns, and all the ufo's that you make, your a quilter for sure. At first I wanted so badly to make a quilt. I sure did, but its whop sided and not actual size, it takes time and practice so dont give up. Pratice, Pratice.
I have notice most of the beginners using the u-tube viedos,(show u how to do something) but be carefull my puter picked up a virus there.
