Hello and Welcome from Central California :)
A class in beginner is always a nice way to start, kit normally has the pre chosen colors thet coordinate well, can also pick up a book, will help a lot, When picking colors, keep in mind it's easier to coordinate fewer colors, I try to either get all from the same series, so the base colors are the same, or if your going w/pink & purple, make sure the pink has some of the same purple tones in it. (hope that made sense) Good Luck have fun, and remember their are no Quilt Police. :)

The thought I have is that you can choose a fabric from a line of fabrics that you like. In this way there will be fabrics that you know will coordinate and you are not trying to choose from a whole world of fabric. You would be able to choose from that line. I also choose fabrics with some contrast, but I know people who prefer no contrast. This is just a personal preference.
Purchasing a quilt kit can be a good idea if you can find one you like. I enjoy choosing my fabrics and cutting them, so I only buy a few kits.
