Welcome!! Great advice you've gotten. I would do some burp pads along with your quilt. They would give you some practice, be very useful & if you used some of the same fabric on 1 side would turn into a "set". I printed out the Conn. Threads pattern to try. Looks to be a little less complicated to me. Good Luck!!
Forgot to add - Get the best tools you can so that you don't get frustrated. Many tips on this board.
