Have you done any sewing before? I suggest you go to your local quilt shop (LQS) and see if they have a class..intro to quilting or quilting for beginners or something similar...or do you know a quilter perhaps that might be your mentor....or go to the local library and see if they have or can get thru their network some beginning quilting books.....my first quilt was a batch of squares I picked up at a garage sale...bored one night and sewed them together using 5/8" seam....showed it proudly to my neighbor the next day who was a seasoned quilter.....she took me under her wing and the story continues........20+yrs.....and still learning...eagerly! So don't rush into it blindly...it can be a lifetime experience.....and you are lucky to have this board and all the other things available today......
