Welcome to the board from TN. The other replies are correct. None (or at least very few) of us has an ideal space for quilting; you will adapt your process to use the space/tools/skills that you have. My wife and I recently got a nice sewing room, but so far all of our quilts were made in our dining room. There are excellent beginner tutorials on this board, Youtube, Missouri Star Quilt Company, and other places. Pick yourself a simple pattern and start cutting. Ask questions here if you have them; there is lots of skill and mentoring on this board. Above all, enjoy the process. It's lots of fun picking pattern and fabric, cutting and sewing, finishing a project, and then giving it away (or keeping it for yourself if you can squeeze your name into your project list!). I look forward to seeing your pictures. Darren
