Lots of good information out there for beginners. Tutorials are a good to watch and the Missouri Star Quilt Company has some good ones on their site that start with the basics. Check their website and look for them, and other great quilting tutorials on You Tube. They make you confident enought to try it.
My first quilt in 1976 was a crazy bad disaster but my daughter loved and stayed warm under it for years! You get better and better the more you do it!
Happy quilting!
