I agree that you should put this away for a while. Find an actual, simple pattern in a book ( or online) you like and make that. Start small - wall hanging or lap quilt. There are a lot of beginners books and videos. It will really help if you follow some actual instructions as you learn, and then you can modify those directions to suit you. I have a friend who cooks by throwing stuff together and then doesn't understand why it tastes funny. Same thing with quilting - follow a pattern first to use other's trial and error, and come out with a project that fits together and looks right, and THEN wing it. And don't mention the new project to your aunt!!!
