Maybe start with just 2 pieces of fabric and put batting in the middle and quilt in the ditch or tie it and of course the binding. I use to buy the silk binding (like on a baby blanket) finally learned to make my own binding and do bigger and better quilts. difinatly not show stuff but good enough to give the kids at church and my g-kids love them! And I have a fun hobby! Soooo just do it!! Pretty soon hubby will have to drag you out to make dinner. lol
