Your first quilt was very nice. Great choice of fabrics for the pattern you made. As paperprincess said, find a frint you like and use the color dots in the selvage to pick other fabrics. One thing to think about as you pic fabrics is scale. Do not pick all busy prints as you will lose the pattern of your quilt blocks. Get some large, medium and small prints. Stand back from the bolts laid on top of each other to see how they play together. What may not look good as a whole may fit in fine as a smaller piece. Remember that you are not using a large piece in your quilt. It will be cut into smaller pieces. Just keep your pattern simple to start till you find your comfort zone. Remember to breath and have fun with it.
