Just set it aside for awhile. I just finished some BOM that was triangles. I used Thangles to make my HST. You might try using them. Thangles come in several different sized, depending on what size triangles you need. Thangles are paper strips with lines on them to sew on & ones to cut on. You pin them on your strips of fabric RST & then sew on the lines. Works great for beginners.

I usually purchase material to make a quilt and then "worry" over my ability a month or more before I try it. I have one kit I've had for 5 years.... still in it's jelly roll! One day I'll start it.... or use the strips for something else!

I say jump in with both feet and give it a try, don't expect your first time to be perfect, was anything ever? meal? cake? drive? diaper change? it all takes practice. go for it.you CAN do it :thumbup:
