THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUCH GOOD INFORMATION. I AM JUST A BEGINNER AND IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING WHEN YOU REALIZE ALL THE STEPS THAT GO INTO WHAT WILL BECOME A WORK OF ART. I AM SO AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES AND BEING EMBARASSED. I HAVE SEWEN FOR FIFTY PLUS YEARS. THIS IS, HOWEVER, A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD AND SET OF RULES. YOU SEASONED QUILTERS MAKE IT SOUND AND LOOK SO EASY.
