I honestly can't believe that it hurts to tell someone what they have done is nice.....there are so many skill levels that we are all on...from early beginners to advanced quilters. What does it hurt anyone to offer encouraging words and praise to a beginne. They may have a few points off or a block a bit wonky...comfirmation is whats needed...so why not give a bit of praise...its a learning process and without the encouragement of a friendly group like this, a would be, someday accomplished quilter may not ever develop, if nothing but sarcastic criticisms are given. We were all beginners at one time and when we got a few attaboys and good jobs, we sure felt good about them. So if you can't offer that, then move on and and say nothing and hope the next time you post something you get a few "Nice Jobs and beautiful work"....Kindness costs nothing
