Would a wall-hanging or table runner be less intimidating than a larger quilt? They are a good place to learn layering, quilting, and binding.
BTW your piecing and choice of color is great.

Please continue, they are beautiful & don't rag quilt them or you will lose too much of your pattern.

Would it help if you changed your piecing of these blocks a bit?
Hopefully you can see from the lines within this graphic what I mean.

that's exactly why i was thinging bout putting maybe a 1 inch border around the whole block. this way when i stitch them together with a 1/2 inch seam, it won't take away from the pattern and you will still have about 1/2 showing that won't get ragged. now i guess i would cut the borer fabric 1 1/2 inches? to allow for a finished border with seen allowances
