It is my first time doing this level of applique and first time doing bobbin work..any words of wisdom or encouragment from all of you talented people? I guess I just need to look at this quilt as a joyful learning experience and just hide it when it is done,lol.
Don't feel bad about your blocks I am a new to Applique' and I have been very hard on myself I am making these blocks 7" by hand some are nicer than others but they say when they are all together we won't notice your mistakes , so just have fun the quilt police will not cart you off to jail so just have fun. can't wait to see your blocks :lol: :thumbup:
