I used to feel exactly the same way after going to quilt shows, that my work would just never compare. And then one day I said to heck with it, I'm going to try one of those "hard" patterns. And you know what, none of them are that hard. Remember, all you're ever doing is sewing a 1/4" seam--it's not like we're putting in zippers or something!
Pick something you think is beyond your level and just jump in! You may make a few mistakes along the way, but that's what the seam ripper is for! I bet you'll surprise yourself.
