Get some fat quarters of your favorite colors and begin sewing 4" blocks of different colors together; - it makes a beautiful scrappy quilt - and you will then know whether you like it or not - use color coordination in this, so you learn what colors look good side by side, etc... it does not have to be fancy, can be a throw quilt. But, it will give you the feel for a quilt. Have fun - don't despair from trying - that is step number one! Enjoy! :)
