If you are new, I would recommend something small - so you do not get discouraged. If you are going to JoAnns, they ususaaly have lap quilt size kits - you will still have to cut - but it will give you good directions. If you go that route - thne you will also need a rotary cutter and pad and 18 inch quilter's ruler. If you already know how to sew, you can compete that in several hours. This is how I made my first quilt.
Not to worry - you will make mistakes and learn very quickly the requirement for accurate seams.
If you are afraid of cutting, you can pick up one of Joann's Quilt Block of the Month. It is cut for you and gives directions for completing. You can buy the coordinating fabric and then make a small pillow our a small wall hangiing quilt or doll quilt from the BOM.
Whatever you do is have fun and no mistake is too big to overcome. Both suggestions are the easiest and not overwheling way to get into quilting.
