I have made quilts labelled "intermediate" that I thought were easier than some quilts that were marked "easy". The intermediate ones were just a bit fussier and time consuming, not more difficult. That sometimes makes it hard to figure out which is easier and which is not. What I will do is make a "Practice block" or blocks, if there is more than one type, from the project, and decide from there if that is something I want to do. Saves a lot of "UFO's!"
