Thank you so much for all of the responses! I am taking it all in, I promise! I'm definitely going with quilts over pillows, it's just what feels right.. But I've given myself until Christmas 2014 to have them ready... and longer if need be! I will be practicing and researching my heart out for the next little while. I do have one friend who is an avid quilter, but I don't think there are any guilds in the area. I will check into it though!
Thanks again everyone, what a warm welcome to the world of quilting!
