Default Am I in over my head?

Need some advice from those who KNOW! I'm awesome for diving in head first. What I don't want to do is get overwhelmed. Did I pick a pattern too far over my experience level? (I've done one quilt, about 15 years ago and all off the top of my head with NO help but my own brain) Please see attached for pattern and how far I've gotten.

I think you've made a great start, just take your time and you will be fine. And if you get to feeling like it's too much, you can always use the blocks you made as focus squares in a quilt. I love the print you are using, those precious faces!

The blocks are 6.5 inch squares. I figure I'll have 6 of them before I border the whole thing as well as between the six with the off white fabric.

Thank you for the words of encouragement - that was really what I needed to hear, not so overwhelmed anymore

Very cute but I would say way to intricate. How about a 54-40 or Fight star block without the small extra pieces. But if you are enjoying it then go for it.

it looks to me that you have already done the hard part, and now just have to stitch the blocks together. You'll be fine.
