i collected fabric for 6 or 7 years because i worked in the fabric dept. of walmart and i loved the feel and colors of the cloth!!!
i did NOT sew much at all. but all these ladies would come and tell what they were quilting and i got the itch. well i have only been quilting about 3 years and none of my quilts are perfect my stitches are not the same but you know what i'm getting there and you will also. but you have to move to get started. it is hard but it's just fabric it won't bleed if you cut it. good luck i know you can do it just go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!
