When I was taking my beginning quilting class, there was a woman at the shop (not taking the class) who was making a DWR as her FIRST quilt. The shop owner was having to fix a lot of her mistakes, but she made it in time for her DD's wedding. I thought that was very... ambitious? impressive? naive? all of those! I would say that you have plenty of time to get some experience with simpler designs, then don't be afraid to tackle whatever pattern you love.
