It's a lot of steps, haven't tried it myself, but from an old Fedora book here are some relevant commands and files to get you started. Instead of me typing out 2-3 pages from the book, why not get a good Fedora administration book?

repquota command -- quota reports on users (-u) or groups (-g) or file systems (-a)
quotaon -- activate quotas
edquota -- apply quota limits
/etc/fstab -- activate quota options -- must modify this file (and remount file system?)
/home/aquota.user

You can use "du" or if you fancy graphical result then try Baobab.

du will report the disk space taken up by files but not any existing quota.

du -cs /home/user1
