TLC, don't be afraid. Just jump in and enjoy. I am currently working on "re-quilting" a quilt I made in the early 90's when I first really got into quilting. I had made it as a tied quilt and I gave it to my sister for a throw on her loveseat. One of the seams has started to come undone and the batting also was starting to shift but it's still in pretty good shape. As I am working on doing the quilting, I see how my points don't match and lots of other little mistakes I made but that quilt has been used and loved and will continue on when I'm finished with it again and if anyone noticed my mistakes, nobody said a word about them. So go ahead and get started; your children will love them. If you run into any snags or have questions, this board is a wealth of information. Just ask away.
