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

The more accurate you are the better the results.

Pressng fabric before cutting, making accurate cuts, following directions and sewing accurate 1/4 inch seams.

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
