You may also want to look for some tutorials on YouTube. I've been quilting or years, but I absolutely love Jenny Doan from the Missouri Star Quilt Company. She uploads a new tutorial every week. I have probably made at least a dozen quilts from her videos. Her early tutorials cover a lot of the basics, so you may want to start there. Most of her tutorials are less than 10 minutes, so they are not a major time commitment for you. I must admit, I've watched many of her tutorials more than once just for the entertainment value they hold! Be sure to post a pic of your first project!
