I have read books, have great stuff to quilt with, and read your helping topics but overcoming getting started is huge. HELP!
Many of us were like you starting off. Decide what you want to do, ie. machine or hand piecing. You will enjoy quilting. Start small and read all the replies here. Everybody is so helpful. We are here to help one another. If your project does not turn out right, just leave it aside and try something else. You can get one of the more experienced quilters to adopt you and help you
