I guess I am an odd ball! I love challenges! I have projects lined up one behind another, and as soon as one gets done, I am itching to get another going. I must say in my short quilting journey, I challenged myself in every project whether it is a new technique, difficult pattern, colors or whatever, and I consider most of the end results successful to a degree. I just approach every project with a mindset that this is my hobby, I don't need to have anything done, I am just exploring,expressing myself and having fun! What is there to be scared about? We are not dealing with human lives here, it is just fabric! You cut it wrong, you just give your creativity more room to grow! I understand the frustration to try to get it right, but really, it is just fabric! Go wild and play and you will surprise yourself!
