Deb, do you belong to a quilting group? If so, take the pattern and fabrics there. Even if no one there has made one, someone might be able to interpret the directions for you.
I'm a picture person myself. Show me how it's done or show me pictures of how it's done and I can do it, but I don't follow written directions very well. I just don't understand them.
If you don't belong to a quilt group, then go to a quilt shop and ask if they can help. Some quilt shops offer classes on helping you with your own projects. Of course if you do take it to the quilt shop, make sure you pick something up so they don't think you're coming to get something for nothing.
