Hi There! Welcome to the board and welcome to quilting! That quilt you posted is gorgeous, but I'm not sure it can be done in 9 months, that is just a ton of work!
A friend of mine made this for her nephew as his baby quilt and it has a space theme, but is made of a more simple block. Keep in mind, you could pick an easier block, but still use your fabric and design it in a way that creates a similar look, but without the pain of using that exact pattern...
