So happy to hear that another person is starting this wonderful hobby of quilting. When I started-I took a 6 wk class at a local quilt shop. They helped me with fabric colors and some good tips. This was a different block every week and the classes taught me a lot. After that I read and researched and bought quilt books to study and as time goes on it gets better and better. So I might suggest you take a couple of classes (if possible) at a local quilt shop. You can also learn a lot from joining a quilt guild. So many quilters are very willing to help and suggest different processes. Good luck and I am sure you will be hooked on quilting soon. This board has wonderful and helpful members that will go out of their way to help you.
