Yes, I think this is a "nine-patch" quilt. That is what I started with and found it quite easy. I think maybe start out with a lap quilt or twin quilt. Just jump and do it. We all make mistakes--sometimes our points don't match, our seams aren't straight and our border bow out. It's o.k.--just quilt for the joy of it and the satisfaction that you DID it. I would encourage you!
