Hi there and welcome from Florida. That is exactly how I started, I didn't know how either. Read about it, do it. Pick something you think you can do. I didn't have this site when I started which should be a great help. I have also purchased quilting books. Anything that helps you learn is where to start. Right now I am cutting out blocks for a rag quilt. I am planning to teach my granddaughter how to make a rag quilt. Good luck. :):):)
