Naturalmama, just keep practicing and you WILL improve with each one. Stick to the smaller quilts (lap, sofa etc) so you don't get over-whelmed, and don't get discouraged. All of us have those early quilts where seams didn't match up, etc, but you will cherish your early quilts as time goes by and your skills improve so you have something to compare. We have all been there-keep going!
