I'm very new at this to. just start with the very ez one and move on they will love them just because you make it for them. mess up happen but that what make it you. I have made 6 now 2 for me kids they are old now. The quils had mess up I did not or can not do the quilt by hand my hand can not handle it . But they still love them , My 2 friends was better but I still seen thing that could be better. They still thought it was the best thing . So STOP PICKING ON YOUR SELF JUST PUT THE LOVE IN IT THEY WILL DO THE SAME> Keep on quilting lol
