I wouldn't worry a bit about someone being more experienced than me. We all got to where ever we are now by the same road. If you are worried about "ruining" your expensive fabric could you make a cheater block with something from your stash until you get your confidence up and then use the expensive fabric for your "real" block? I don't worry about other people being better than me. I sew for me and I think I'm just fine and you should think you're just fine too, cause you ARE. :thumbup:
