Please do NOT give up. Every one of the ladies in that group started out at the same place you are. Just do the best you can at this point in your quilting life and be proud each time you conquer a new technique. Your skills will develop the more you practice them. Please do not give up or feel intimidated by more experienced quilters. Goodness I've been at this quilting "passion" for over 40 years and there are still times my points do not meet perfectly. Unless you are planning to enter a huge quilting contest, don't worry about the small things that aren't perfect--Unless its a horribly glaring error, no one will even see it. Just recently I put together a complicated BOM quilt and when completed noticed I had turned the pieces backwards on one block. Know what? I left it and called it creative license. When I showed it at the finishing meeting, only one person saw the error.
