I totally agree. My very first quilt I had no idea what I was doing, just started with what I liked. Also don't start with anything to complex as you want to be able to finish it to quickly to get a sense of accomplishment. I am very much a person that needs to be pushed to get out of my comfort zone so with each new project I try to pick something that is new to me. There aren't any quilt police but having said that we can be our own worst critic. Just have fun. Its called a "Hobby" for a reason.
