I am reading more & more blogs......and am in about the same place you are w/self confidence, with 1 yr of quilting. Tackled a quilt way above my skill level for a first one, but finished. It's imperfections are evident but am glad I finished, & will give it to my daughter anyway. Have collected too much beautiful material at this point to quit, so will tackle another (already have, actually). Guess we just need to keep going & accept the help from others.......
