Default Help! First Quilt Ever!

Hello Quilters...

I just found out my best friend is pregnant and I want to make her and her baby a quilt (she is very newly pregnant so I have a bit of time, thank god).

I have no sewing experience, and I have never made a quilt. I have done some searching on the internet, and the style of quilt I want to make (I think) is a kaleidoscope one block wonder (hexagon blocks). Sooo here are my questions:

I want the quilt to have a sort of night sky look to it, similar to this:

I was thinking about using this fabric:

https://www.fabric.com/buy/0365021/s...d-29889bf8fb7b

would that make good blocks?

How do I figure out how much fabric to buy?

Once I make all of the blocks how do I sew them all together?

What else will I need besides: big ruler, triangle ruler, sewing machine, rotary cutter, pins

Any help would be appreciated.
