I also agree that you should go to your LQS. If you have a pattern in mind take it with you . Explain to the people in the shop that you are new to quilting and you need a little help.
If you don't have a LQS then you might want to do something like a 9 patch or rail fence and order your material over the internet.
If you want to do something else and need help let the QB members know and they will help. Just tell us what pattern you want to do.
