Tonight I started cutting the pieces out. I'm just kinda winging it - so if you have any advise or anything that may help - please let me know. I am really kind of clueless.
pining the pieces onto the Dew Sew to see if I like it or not before thread paiting it on...like I know how to do that..lol

You've got a good start. Leave the butterflys off until the end so you can balance your picture as you put them in.... and perhaps leave their wings free. You show a willingness to be bold and that will stand you in good stead. It isn't a photo quit... it's only from a photo, like an artist painting from a photo of her childhood. Ah, I'm old enough to have driven that truck. Makes me miss the ranch where I grew up.
WHAT! your butterflys are PINS??? Well, a butterfly or two never hurt any quilt. :-P

I used the steam a seam lite which is tacky so that you can reposition the piece until you were 100% happy with it, before ironing it down. I find that easier than pins. It also doesn't gum up my needles.
Your design looks great and I'm sure the finished quilt will be fabulous
