I love looking through quilting patterns on line, love reading quilting books, have a stash of fabric that could make probably 50 quilts (or more).

So my question is In order not to keep adding to my UFO stash, what type of quilt pattern should I be using to make my quilts.... is this pattern to difficult

OR

Or can you suggest any other pattern that would be good to use - and help my self confidence
I haven't looked at all of these, but the first one is a winner. I have done this using the children's "cloth book" panels. I just cut up each "page" and use it in a block with sashing and cornerstones like in the pattern. This can also be used with novelty fabrics of a particular theme.
