Default Is it possible to "ruin" a quilt on your first try?

I have an awesome vintage quilt top, got it sandwiched with batting and backing fabric. I decided not to try and match the mystery fabric that was holding the pieces together. Instead I got a small print cotton and used it for the backing. A while back I found an enormous, old, wooden hoop that I thought was for embroidery, but now I think I'm going to use it for quilting. I've decided to try hand quilting around the pattern on the top using that huge wooden hoop.

I'm scared I'm going to ruin the whole thing w/ crappy first time work.

Any words of wisdom?
