Hi, from a long time quilter in South Central MO. My-O-My! Please stop worrying about your ability to move on in your piecing and quilting. I have to agree with so many before me...you're doing a great job! And the colors you've chosen are beautiful! Yummy, actually. Look forward to seeing it together! Blessings and have fun with your quilting...your friends and family will be overjoyed to receive something that you've made for them! Remember in any art form there are slight imperfections...that's what makes them so precious and helps us grow. We learn as we go and that's the way it's supposed to be!
