Pick out an easy pattern and get help at the quilt store to pick fabrics you like and just go for it. I had no pattern and just picked a bunch of fabrics and decided I would do a quilt for my granddaughter. It was a 4 patch with squares in between. Super simple and most of the fabrics were from JoAnn's and Walmart. It turned out fine and has been washed a billion times and is still holding up. Go for it.
