I love watching each quilter develop new skills and enjoy doing fun things with fabric. Gwyn

You are such a Sweetie! You would really be getting the short straw!

No I wouldn't. Those first few quilts or blocks made in a quilter's life are treasures. The love, care and concentration that goes into them is in every single stitch. They are absolutely as beautiful as some of the blocks from the practiced members. They are all good.

You know, you have all month to work on it and send it out. And February hasn't started yet, so you get a few extra days! Don't be shy. Give it a try! It's really fun. :thumbup:
