Forgive me if there is somewhere else I should have posted this...

So I bought a jelly roll (I think that's what it's called) at Joann's the other day. Lots of pretty fabrics, all of which have pretty busy patterns.

My question is do I need a solid color to keep the quilt from being TOO busy? I believe I got 10 different patterns (not sure if I'm going to use them all or not).

Also I think I'm going to try the interlocked squares pattern from Quilter's Cache. This will be my first quilt (I'm such a newb!) - do you think that pattern will be too difficult to start with?

I appreciate any and all advice! I'm very new to quilting and many of the terms and things are foreign to me.
