Question Nervous, high anxiety to start on my first quilt by myself......

Have you ever felt frozen to start on a new quilt project. I feel that way especially because this is my first quilt project after I've finished my first quilting class. Lots of anxiety because: 1) I'm afraid I'm going to cut the fabric wrong, 2) I won't lay it out correctly so that it looks the best to sew, 3) I can't remember everything I learned in the class even thought I had great fun, 4) most of all -- I don't have a dedicated place to sew in my house. The kitchen table is it and my grandkids will get into everything even if I put it all away...when I get it back out to work on, they are right there wanting to 'help' which breaks my concentration. They live with me so it's not like I can get away by myself. I have a small place, and there's no room to sew anywhere else. My project is the Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Designs. Already have the fabric, just cutting, piecing, sewing and etc now.

Any advice and encouragement would be appreciated.

Thanks
