I totally agree with 'ghostrider' about the basic quilting book being a must have resource. Also, make some smaller items to practice on,
Like potholders, placemats, table toppers. If you have a local quilt shop to visit check with them for some hands on help, if they are not busy and you go in with a small quilted item & your binding strips they will probably be happy to help. Also a local guild or sewing group would help show you, sometimes it doesn't (sink in- make sense) until you see someone do it, but even when you understand the process it still takes some practice
