You will need a ruler too. Use a Joanns coupon and get a mat, ruler, rotary cutter combo. Start with a simple pattern maybe a nine patch or log cabin. Do a lap quilt or smaller. Maybe just a table runner. To finish a project is better than getting frustrated with the wine it may take to do a large one. Once you have gotten familiar with the basics you will be ready to work on your baby clothes quilt. Most of all. Have fun with it. Even if it is not perfect, it has heart in the work.
