To get familiar with quilting, check out the youtube videos by Jenny Doan for the Missouri Star Quilt Co.
I agree with Tartan. There have been numerous posts recent on this site about Hexs (hexagons). The are a quilting project that can easily take on the go. I have never tried the English paper piece. I have just cut out plastic templates of the size I want to make. They are easy to pop out instead or trying to remove the paper.
We have ALL made mistakes so there is Nothing to fear. Welcome to the board.
