i am new to quilting and started out by u tubing quilting and watching the videos. met a great lady at the local quilt shop who impressed on me how easy it was. she let me borrow Elenor Burns log cabin book. and i bout jelly rolls. and made my first log cabin quilt which was really easy. Elenor Burns books are really detailed in her instructions. i still have problems with straight lines. You might also start by doing rag quilts. if you like rag quilts you will really like doing other quilts. rag quilts are very forgiving if you cant sew straight line lol
