I kept hoping the local quilt shop would have a new quilters class. They have been telling me to check back in the fall; however, although the weather remains Hot in Florida, it is October. No class has been listed. So, I purchased the Quilters Academy by Harriet Hargrave and Carrie Hargrave. I am told it is a great skill building - learning to quilt book. I intend to start on page one and do the projects in order. I have been pleased so far with the few projects I have worked on; however, I know I have lots to learn. I'm also thinking I need to go take a picture taking class! The colors are much richer in the above than they appear on the screen.
Anyway ... I am having a grand time learning a new skill! Happy quilting!

You will find that most of us quilters are self taught...sounds like you have a good book to teach you.
It looks like your blocks are coming out brilliantly so you're obviously a good learner. As Barb said, most of us I think start off trying this new-fangled thing called quilting, on our own, then gradually we find other people, join a group, take a class, and suddenly you find your completely hooked.
Yep, self taught here. Never had a quilting class in my life. I learn better by doing. It just takes practice. Half square triangles can be a booger. LOL Just keep on learning and having fun. Your blocks are looking good to me. Winona
