Welcome from Delaware. I understand how you feel being new. I had sewn since I can remember probably about 7-8 years old, but never quilted. It took me reading for over a year --- reading, reading, reading, to get brave enough to start one. That was way too long ---- sometimes reading too much just confuses your thoughts. This site is great, a book is helpful and if possible a beginners class, but don't wait, there are lots of beginner patterns depending on your likes. Start simple.
Let us see your first item.
Happy quilting.
