Those quilts are very pretty
great job.
As a fellow "newbie" to the quilting world, couple pieces of advice
#1. the Specialness from a quilt comes from the love you stitch into it as you make it. Has nothing whatsoever to do with experience, skill, fabrics or pattern. They are special because YOU took the time to put them together with love.
#2. Do NOT be afraid of complicated quilts, most are just squares, triangles and rectangles sewn together, you obviously can do that
So go for it! There are no rules!
Sometimes a pattern looks complicated but is very easy once you get into it.
Congrats on your degree as well.
