Maybe it would help if you could define the terms "beginner", "intermediate", and "advanced".
I made my first quilt in the early '70's ('71 or '72). Then "played" at quilting til the early '80's, became an avid quilter in the late '80's. I can draft patterns, piece, do curved piecing (although I don't enjoy it), machine applique, paper piece, and hand applique. I can hand quilt but it is boring to me and too slow. If pressed I can machine quilt small items (up to crib-size) but again, don't enjoy wrestling alligators. I even casually teach (guild programs). What would I have to add to my resume to become advanced? I don't do art quilts, hand-dye my own fabric (although I did take one class), long-arm, design (okay, sometimes I alter patterns to my own liking), and I haven't published or entered a quilt show.
