Good luck.
Do you have someone to help you?
You know your skill level.
I wouldn't want you to jump into the deep end without floaties before you know how to swim.
Get the pattern. Study it. It will give you something to look forward to.
When you read the pattern and say "what is that", write it down on a notepad. Go online, look for "that" and learn how to do it on scrap material. There are tons of instructional videos online.
As you feel you understand the pattern, make a block from scrap material. Old clothes, old sheets, whatever you have. You will know when you are ready for the real deal. You will learn a ton of things on the quiltingboard. Please don't hesitate to ask when you have a question. I can't begin to explain how patient these wonderful people are. Welcome to the quiltingboard.
