Welcome to the quilting world. I hope you have the opportunity to join a quilting guild or group. The encouragement and education you receive there can be awesome. You will be encouraged to grow in the craft. Plus having a quilting buddy is great.
I also hope you have a LQS or community center or adult ed where you can take some classes. I find the face to face classes are more helpful when learning as you can have your questions answered and any errors corrected immediately. Failing that there are many online quilting classes available too. I used to do most of my class work as samples and then at home work on the 'real' project for myselg.
