Okay: 1) there really aren't any quilt police. 2) when ever possible step outside the box(I do this often). 3) have fun (I already have a job and it's not quilting). 4) don't quilt hungry 5) if you are not enjoying the project you are making it's okay to stop, give it away, burn it, whatever makes you happy, you don't have to complete it (if you don't beleive me then reread rule number 1)
