there is a beginners quilt book " LET'S QUILT by Ann Kisro it has easy projects fro first time quilters .. but you can go on utube anytime and watch videos on everything to do and about every pattern you can think of.. I would suggest you start with something small and easy like a 9 patch pattern, do placemats, wall hangings, potholders, small things until you get the hang of things then branch out to baby quilts and so on Good luck you will do fine.. just enjoy and do not let it get to you, walk away if things get a bit tense and come back later and all will look in a better lite..
