You are not alone out there. I have no desire to do anything but squares. Have started to do a bit of appliques. Not so difficult if you choose simple things. I made my first yoyo. Wanting to try piecing but will have to wait until other projects are finished. Lots of Info. out there.
I did go so far as making a "light box" I had a light stick never used, a piece of plexiglass, not used. a cardboard box in the attic.
And there it sits, but will work when ready.
