I am rather a newbie to quilting. I have been doing them for about 2 years. I just see what I would think is an easy pattern, I tell DH what I would like to do. He drafts my pattern and off I go. I only do squares and once I did a half square. Don't feel discouraged, there are days I feel that way too. I may have liked the fabric or pattern one day and not the next. I stick with it and glad I do. I enjoy what I do, that's all that matters to me. Others in this group have far more experience then I do, I love their quits, but, they too started somewhere
