We all had our first quilt and felt the pressure of jumping in. As others have said just pick one up and get started. I never had a set place to sew until we moved here. I always had to stay out of the kids way or things got moved and lost. I just told them I am using this space now and hands off. Once you start cutting and working on it you will start having fun and get addicted to it like the rest of us. Good luck with it.
