    I work on my 1/4" seam, my cutting, and my instruction following. I do whatever is fun. I want to have the skill I need when I find "THE" quilt.

    Perhaps try a sampler quilt that uses blocks that need different techniques! So you're not locked into one design if you don't enjoy it! And you'll more quickly find just what techniques and patterns you do like best!

    Good luck! ;)

    You certainly have tackled some difficult blocks, most beginners start with simple 9 patch blocks. One thing you could try is to make the same blocks/patterns again but with different fabrics and/or colors, most times the quilts will look completly different than the first ones you made. Whatever you decide, keep trying new stuff, it's the best way to learn. May in Jersey
