Hi I was just wondering since I am newb to welding would it be a good choice for me to weld the rear 1/4 panel on my CRX or have someone else do it?

just make sure you have the setting correct to make sure you don't blow through and move quick enough also...

quarter panels are thin and too much heat will cause them to warp so do a bead on one part, leave a big gap and do another and so on..

you could probably do it but i would practice on similar material beforehand to get the setting and movement right

You can do it, but it's thin stuff. I think that Honda uses some really thin tempered steel to save in weight.

You can possibly handle it. Please, though.....practice on some of the same metal before you actually do anything to the car. Master your techniques and leave no question about the processes involved unanswered.
