Your FQs are pretty. I wonder, though, whether the pattern you've selected is FQ-friendly (in other words, is there a lot of waste when using FQ's for it)? I can't tell from the picture. The other thing to consider is that the description says it's for a confident beginner. In quilt-speak, that usually means it's not recommended for your first quilt, unless you're already an accomplished seamstress. I don't want to discourage you - far, far from it - but (without knowing what your skill level is, or whether you have access to friends who can help and encourage you) I would recommend a pattern that's made up of squares and rectangles to start with. Yellow Brick Road (YBR) is a good choice. Whatever you make, please show us when it's done! And welcome to the quilting community.
