Start small, like a Quilt for Kids quilt. Go to Quilts for Kids website and request a kit. They will send you fabric all precut with very simple directions for a small cuddle size quilt. they are for kids in hospital with serious illness. You provide the sewing, batting, and send the finished quilt back. Meanwhile you learn on a small, SIMPLE quilt at a fraction of the cost.
You need to master accurate cutting and sewing 1/4" seams, or the seams may never match. It may help to starch your fabric before cutting also to get more accurate cuts.
Good luck.
