Congratulations on seeing the light. Your best quilts happen when you are happy with what you are doing. The first law of any artist in all its fields [except commercial] is it's up to you to please yourself. Only good things can come when you have the confidence to do what you want.
My quilts are not complicated, but I like what I do and others ask to have one made. We have a half hour talk about what they want and what I can do for them and that my quilt evolve as time goes by. They learn quilt making isn't as easy as going to the store, [I always say they try that first] and in the end they get what we agreed upon and I get paid. Both happy and very little stress.
Big hug for your strength of mind.
