As a beginning quilter, I would choose something a little easier. Maybe a 4 patch or 9 patch. I think if you start on something so ambitious right now, you will quickly become disillusioned and give up. I might even try a smaller project, like placemats, a table runner or a lap quilt. I would definitely wait until I felt totally confident in my skills before even attempting such a project. I've been quilting 50 years, and still haven't done one of those boogers!
