Oh no...don't buy a quilt. It is much more fun and satisfying to make your own. Do a four patch and then just stitch n the ditch to quilt it, which is just using a walking foot and following all your lines. You will be addicted by the time you are half way through making the top. Don't be overwelmed by the group here. They are wonderful and helpfull. Not to mention the experience in this group is awesome. Of course theirs is going to more intricate. Just start with a simple two color 4 patch. You can also take a class at joanns. Oh and also their are wonderful tutorials on youtube
