Howdy and welcome, Nancy! I'm also in Texas, a bit northeast of the Austin area. Don't be intimidated by lots of little pieces, as SOME of them are easier than they look. My first "real" quilt was a twin-sized Triple Irish Chain. It consisted of sewing together strips, then cutting those sewn strip sets, into blocks! The only "hard" part was making sure the seams matched properly . . . and that just took being careful.
