Thank you for the encouragement. I am a '"newbie" (just finishing up my 4th quilt) and have made so many mistakes, but have learned valuable lessons along the way. It's nice to hear that more experienced quilters have doubts about their capacity to try new or more difficult projects or techniques.

I am very impressed at the amount of work you were able to sew in such a short time. Kudos to your courage to keep trying after a not so happy first time.
I think all of us are in a something new to try mode that we need a little encouragement to forge on. So, thanks from an older quilter that is still learning and trying new things.
Also a big thanks to those wonderful women who are quick to pass on those wonderful tips and techniques that have made quilting much more fun and accurate.

I know a few quilters who submit show quilts and to this day they have all said "It took me awhile but I finally got it." I believe that happens with everyone in every aspect of any attempt at anything.

Thank you for all the encouraging comments. I've learned so much from this board. I find it a wealth of information that is freely given by so many of you so willing to help. Sometimes it's a picture, or a link, or a detailed explanation that is just the right info at the right time. The learning process never stops!!

I just keep making quilts, finish one and immediately start another. I totally finish one before I start another. I make 12 or more a year. If I took a year or more off between quilts I would have to relearn everything all over. I am also trying to use up my fabrics. I bought them for me to use. Everything is getting a lot easier and I really don't have to do a lot of thinking or remembering.
