Welcome to the board! Everyone here is so helpful that you will learn so much. However, I'd like to recommend a book to you that will teach you everything you need to know. It is Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting. It has wonderful photographs and clear instructions for every step of quilt making. Then, you can ask for clarification if you don't understand the process. Good luck and "get busy" making the quilts you are going to love.
