I would go for it, possibly using marti michell templates, as that might give you a better result. A friend of mine and I decided to make a storm at sea quilt as the raffle quilt for our annual church fair. It was a beautiful quilt, which another friend graciously hand quilted, however, she did one section of the quilt and I did the other and it was a true testimony that you should use one quilt to piece a quilt. There were only slight differences, but enough that I had to figure out how to adjust the piecing so that it came out right. But honestly, I was a very beginner quilter back then and it really wasn't that difficult to piece and the end result was beautiful. Go for it.
