Sounds like you have a plan now :D You should be proud of every quilt you do and don't start trying to compare...ALL quilts are beautiful!
Youtube is a great place to learn just about any technique..just search for it. Of course I'd have to recommend this board for learning anything you want. There are tutorials (with pics) under the Tutorial section and of course, tons of people here to answer any question you can dream up. Just dive in! :D
