Any one else Feel Like this ?

Hi, I am sitting here for quite awhile going through all the interesting things to read, and the beautiful quilts to see. I sometime don't know if that makes me happy or sad. There are so many beautiful quilts and I am wondering if I will ever get to the caliber of some.
I like what I do and enjoy what I do. But it seems there is so much to learn. For some reason today I feel overwhelmed. Must be the Wi. weather.Pickle

Welcome to the club.I read a lot of threads, admire a gazillion beautiful quilts & look thru tons of tips to make quilting easier. Sad to say, I realized many moons ago, that I was & am just a top maker.The beautiful applique,perfect points & squared quilts are beyond my talents.The tips haven't made anything easier...I can mess up anything,but guess what?
That's ok.No one knows unless I tell them.But no, it doesn't make me want to quit.My quilts are done to please me...& no one else.As long as it interests me, I'll keep at it.

There probably is someone/something at either end of the scale - either best/most or worst/none - but most of us are somewhere in the middle -
I know I've come quite a way in my skills - and I know that there are many that are better than I am.
I do the best I can with what I know and have right now.

Those wonderful talented quilters who create the gorgeous quilts didn't get that way overnight. They have been quilting for a long time, building their skills quilt by quilt. It's hard to create a masterpiece if you haven't first worked on the simple nine patches, log cabins and the D9P's. Do what you are comfortable with at this point in your quilting journey. Somebody is sure to fall in love with your efforts and you can progress from there.
