The life of a quilter should have challenges! If you have been quilting for a while you know the things you currently feel comfortable with. JN patterns have better instructions because she was willing to design beautiful quilts and learn how to interpret them to others. Just know that you are expanding your skills, read carefully (sometimes several times) and follow step by step (no shortcuts allowed) and you will be rewarded. If you follow step by step I know you will be successful and you will love your quilt.
