Hello all
I have bought all the stuff that I need to make a quilt a couple of months ago. I am not sure what I am waiting for. It could be its my first time or it could be I am still looking for a pattern that is easy to do. Or not sure where to start. I need a little encouragement from all of you experience quilters. Happy quilting :-)

Hello and welcome from Ohio. You might try to find a quilting buddy either on here or near your home. I'm sure you can find many books at your local library or online. Have fun and this is a great place to ask any questions you have, as there are many, many helpful people in this group.

Welcome! Perhaps if you find just one block to make it won't seem so overwhelming. Maybe a simple 9-patch just to learn to line up squares, make accurate seams, etc.
Here's one: http://www.quiltingassistant.com/9patch.html and there are many more.
I'm sure you'll get many replies with suggestions.

I procrastinated for ages before I could sit down and just do it. My sewing room looked like a magazine photo shoot, now it's a happy mess! Just put on some soothing music and start something easy. You will soon be addicted!
