Hello. Please don't get discouraged. It is hard to take the first step doing anything new. Start small and simple. When I was teaching I usually gave the first block as the 9Patch. It is just 3 rows of blocks,any size that you want to use. I prefer 3 1/2 inch sq. They do not have to match. You will need 9 sqs for the block. Lay them in front of you and move them around untill it pleases you. Then sew the top row of 3 together side by side. Then sew the second 3 oieces the same way,and finally the 3rd row. Lay they down like you had them Lay the first row on top of the second row, Pin the seams,thensew. Spread what you have sewn out and lay the third row over the pieced section. Pin the seams and sew. Lay it face up. You have just made you first quilt block. That did not hurt
In a store that sells fabric, or even some grocery stores sell quilt books, They have a section of how to . Also you can check at the local library and find a lot of books on quilting. Good Luck.
