I am much more patient and check everything a lot closer and I think I am a little wiser now that I realize how important it that my seams are exact 1/4" or as close as possible. A lot of this does come with age (at least for me it did). LOL

This probably goes without saying but I'll say it, anyway.
If you have a question about quilting fabrics going together, try to find and ask another quilter (as opposed to someone who sews but doesn't quilt)!

I agree with everyone else's ideas. My biggest helps are the statements about precision, and also being more accepting of myself and my efforts. For so long, I was super-critical of my quilting. Now I have learned that no one is perfect, no one thing is perfect, and it will be better after I have left it for awhile. The latter seems to help me like it better! Mariah

If using a pattern read it at least twice, maybe 3 times to be sure you understand it. Measure and cut carefully, sew accurately and practice, practice, practice. You should see the number of pot holders and trivets I have for practice
