When I first started almost 4 years ago, I went to a couple of get togethers of a bunch of people quilting, made 2 big beautiful quilts with the help of the group...then I made some small stuff on my own, one being a baby quilt with very small pieces...when I got it all pieced together, it was not very even and looked funny, I took it to a local bee that I belonged to last year and asked a seasoned quilter, "what did I do wrong?" She kindly said, your work is great, you just need to press better..well lo & behold, after all that time! Thats all it needed? I pressed it again, (after much practice of 2 1/2 years, lol) what a difference! Throw it aside! It will be waiting for you when you're ready!! I'm with Crafty Bear!!!! Build your stash, go shopping!!!
