Howdy from Texas! Recycler (above post) beat me to the "kit" suggestion. I think that would be a perfect place to start because you won't have a lot of "left over" fabric to deal with when your quilt is complete. Also, I was going to suggest Jenny Doan at Missouri Star Quilt Company as you could find a quilt you like on one of her tutorials and order the pre-cut fabric from her shop. If you want to make a quilt but don't have fabric yet, Quilts For Kids will send you a kit with everything included (except batting & thread) and you make the quilt & send it back to them to give to a child.

We look forward to seeing your first finished quilt.
