1. Stop worrying so much about getting things perfect. Chances are, that little boo boo won't show anyway!
2. Ditto on the "don't quilt hungry". I am SO bad about getting caught up with what I'm working on that I forget to eat, and the next thing you know, I'm majorly cranky and impatient with myself. And here come the mistakes ... :shock:
3. Don't be afraid to try different/new things.
4. Be careful with the rotary cutter! It bites! :shock:
5. It's good (for me, anyway) to have more than one project going on at a time. When you get tired of working on Project A, take a break and work on Project B for awhile. :)
