So of course I decided to make potholders and placemats for my barn customers.
ONE potholder took me 4 flipping hours to make. I feel like I've run a marathon or something. I'm exhausted.
Ya'll folks who put together a whole quilt top in a day freak me out!
:lol: Hey, don't get freaked out! Cut yourself some slack. The important thing to do is to relax & enjoy what you are doing. Get rid of the negative self-talk & quit comparing yourself to seasoned quilters. You will get there in due time. I used to be the same way but I finally have realized there is NO quilt police & I have been developing my own style & preferences. I've even learned it is okay to "agree to disagree" with other quilters in a polite but firm way! Enjoy the journey!! :thumbup: :lol: 8-)
