If sewing and quilting are not your main thing, you might feel intimidated to get started.  Books published by Martingale are out to change that.  They specialize in instructions, templates, patterns, and photos that are really easy to follow.  All projects have exact yardage and materials lists, cutting and assembling instructions that will guarantee your results.
