Go to Missouri Star Quilt Company videos, also 5 Minute quilt block and 10 minute quilt block videos, beginning quilting videos will teach you about fabric and tools... don't get discouraged. Also go to a local quilt shop, there will be a group there and also classes to take in person.

In search of a local seamstress to hem daughter's pleated, uniform skirts
