The most important tip from me is to keep playing but stop every now and then and take a break! You are right about there being almost too many options available. One thing I like is that you can change the number of quilts displayed in the project sketchbook and the more you display, the smaller they are. This gives me a little better perspective when trying to decide if I actually like the design or not. Sort of like using one of the peephole viewers to look at a quilt.
