I suggest you take a beginner class or series of classes obviously at a different shop. Some community colleges offer continuing education classes in things like quilting. Depending on your age you may have an active senior center where there is a quilting group. Join a guild. Check out your church, many of them have quilt groups. There are a lot of places to get help starting and save yourself some frustration. My basic suggestion is when starting out stick to squares and rectangles. Triangles are a bit of a challenge at first. Set yourself up for success. Good luck we are all pulling for you.
