Greetings and welcome from New Hampshire.
The horse face is beautiful, but as 4catsandaquilt said - not newbie-friendly.
Try a pieced quilt as your first, something like Jacob's Ladder or a Log Cabin.
If you did a log cabin you could fussy cut a small horse head or full body for the center square/rectangle.

Hello and "Holy Moly" - those quilts are fabulous but almost impossible to make for a beginner. My first quilt is about 40 years old and still in the back of my closet - unfinished - I took a hard pattern and decided to make it even harder - big mistake. But it was all scraps anyway - so not too expensive of a "trial" quilt.

Welcome from Louisiana I might suggest that you use a horse print fabric and a basic pattern and get some of quilting basic skills down then your "dream Quilt" would be a wonderfully fun challenge Quilting should be fun so find your way and what works for you
