I hop...Nolesgirl, you're a no-reply blogger ... I hope you stop back to read this response! : )<br /><br />When I started out quilting, I had a bunch of books on hand as reference. Most quilt books I have bought cover the basics of quilting. I found it helpful to read how people used different approaches.<br /><br />There are probably some classes at Craftsy or Creativebug that could provide you the information you need, but I haven't taken any to recommend. Another possibility could be a beginner online quilt-along. I've seen one on Diary of a Quilter (check out the "101" posts at the bottom of this page: https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/tutorials) and two at Stitched in Color (https://www.stitchedincolor.com/blog//2010/09/colorbrick-beginner-quilt-along_16.html as well as https://www.stitchedincolor.com/blog//2013/10/penny-patch-beginners-quilt-along.html)<br /><br />Good luck!Michelle @ From Bolt to Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859748817323229803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-17617427632286822602018-01-04T09:14:31.843-05:002018-01-04T09:14:31.843-05:00I am a beginner quilter and really don't want ...I am a beginner quilter and really don't want to take a class at the quilting store (don't feel comfortable there). What is your advise to someone like me? Where do you begin and how to continue to develop your skills. Have very limited skills with rotary cutter, ruler, etc.Nolesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298729780659169819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-7026323608366614472014-08-10T15:26:13.162-04:002014-08-10T15:26:13.162-04:00For a first quilt this is great!

Your first quilt shows a wonderful sense of colour - something that was NOT evident in my first quilt (more than) a few years ago!
