    Looking at any quilt we see here is eye candy. We can get inspiration from anyones work. If you made it it is worth looking at. We cannot all be one of the greats we it is FUN so let everyone see. This is supposed to be our hobby and an outlet for our creativity so let if flow.

    I'm certainly not a pro at quilting, I just love making them. Please do not feel like yours are "not up to par" because they are. We just love sharing and appreciate the comments and suggestions of others that love this craft. They inspire me and they will you too. Just look at the pics. Some of the simple designs really turn out the preittiest. and I have decided that simple machine quilting is best for me as I will enjoy the talents of others. And the biggest plus is the wonderful compliments you get, makes you feel very special. Look forward to seeing yours in the future !!

    KSue, all the different levels of quilters is what makes this a wonderful board. I post sometimes, and I learn so much from others. I have only been quilting for three years. I'm proud of what I have accomplished and know there is so much more to learn and do. This board offers us a chance to see color combinations that work and some that don't. Patterns I want to try and ones I don't think are for me. It gives us permission to work at our level and take pride in what we accomplished. It, then, inspires us to work towards the next level. We learn from all the experience on this board, but I have also seen beginners come up with some of the best ideas, because they didn't know the rules, so they weren't scared to break them. We all grow that way. Be proud of what you have accomplished. Continue posting and sharing. We all learn from it.

    While the photos that some of the members here post are really "professional looking' the majority of the photos are posted by 'ordinary" quilters of all levels. My quilts are simply made and meant as a 'fun' outlet for me and as a way to share some of my joy of quilting with family and friends. So don't put yourself down and join all of us 'ordinary' quilters, we're a huge group that loves to add new members. May in Jersey

    I see plenty of pictures of quilts that are just squares and rectangles sewn together, nothing fancy, or rag quilts which are just squares. There are ALL levels of expertise on the QB, that is what makes it so great!!
