You must not give up. Start small like the one below. If you use the search here and elsewhere, you can see how many varieties can be made with this simple pattern, called Irish Chain. Eleanor Burns wrote my first pattern book about Irish Chain quilts. Try ebay to find a copy?
Here is one I made recently. Good luck.
