Pick patterns with larger pieces, or squares/rectangles. Those would be easier than triangles. Build your confidence with the easier ones before tackling the harder ones.
this is good info. There is room in quilting for all types. I tend to be a perfectionist so I now do more difficult patterns and love doing them. I tend to oversize and trim to exact unfinished size. I love Deb Tucker tools and patterns, Sharon Schamber YouTube videos, Bonnie Hunter tutorials, Bloc Loc rulers to name a few things. there is also so much information and knowledge here on this site and on YouTube and different blogs and websites. It is a great hobby. Enjoy!
