If you're new to FMQ, I'd try doing loop de loops. Just a circle one way, then a circle another way. You can do them side to side in lines or in patches. You could do the middle as a large patch of loops and then do a row of them in the borders. Once you get the hang of loops, it is not a big stretch to start making a second row around each loop that has bumps on it - presto - flowers.
I'm sure if you practise a couple, even just on a sheet of paper, you'd have the hang of it quickly. Just have faith in yourself and don't give up!
