You can totally do this quilt. It is assembled with half hexis so basically once you have all your triangle units made, you piece them into strip sets to assemble the top. This quilt a confident beginner can absolutely do and it should boost your confidence to try even more complex things. Get the ruler. I have this ruler and used it to make this quilt:
African Queen a spiderweb quilt
I also made this one using the same ruler
Triangle quilt
I think the ruler is versatile enough that if you make this quilt it will be well worth it so any other quilt made with 60 degree triangles will be a bonus and there are a lot of 60 degree triangle quilts out there. Jaybird designs has tons (and as it happens the second topic I posted to is a Jaybird pattern but I figured out how to make the quilt without her pattern)
So use your pretty string of pearls fabric, get yourself a solid white and go for it! You can do it. Just take your time and follow the instructions. Oh and starch your fabric (before cutting). Working with all those bias edges, the starch will make things go
much easier for you. Also I would use elmers washable school glue instead of pins for lining up those critical intersections.
Oops, edited to add, I made the spiderweb quilt using the creative grids spiderweb ruler which is a different angle, but I still think you should buy the 60 degree. It would be a good investment because so many hex based quilts use them, like One Block wonder and the hollow blocks that are in one of the OBW books. And like I said so many Jaybird quilts use the 60 degree. Of course she wants you to buy her ruler. I prefer creative grids.
