I'm so attracted to the color combination and the design. Also, I was inspired to read that you really didn't know how to quilt when you started it. Quilting seems overwhelming to me. But after reading your story, I'm anxious to get started! LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors! I’m so attracted to the color combination and the design.

It is so classic looking yet not so traditional, I love it. Hmm, I see a trip to the fabric store for pink and green fabric in my near future.

Although I think you can absolutely teach yourself to quilt from books and online tutorials, part of the whole history of quilts is its collaborative nature. I truly enjoyed the class at my local art center, the feedback of the group, our very different designs (I think they thought I couldn't sew a straight line but were supportive nonetheless) and the group input. If you're a beginner or even an advanced sewer/quilter, don't discount the value of what others have to share and teach. But hey, you're already reading this thread so you probably knew that!
