Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I don't know what pattern you are working with but some are easier than others. Fold your fabric and cut your patches carefully with your rotary cutter. Once you have enough cut to make a block (if your pattern is in blocks) sew it together using exact 1/4 inch seams. A 1/4 inch piecing foot helps but you can run a piece of painter's tape on the throat plate for a guide. It is hard flying solo so if you can find a beginner's class at your local quilt store, that may help you get over the fear.
As for, "what if I mess up?" There are solutions to any problem you come across just come on Quiltingboard and ask.
