HI Joy,
This always makes me sad to think that we compare ourselves....I think we all have special gifts....
Quilting is something we here on QB all have in common...because quilting attracts many types of people...from left brain to right brain...artists and math whiz people...that is the beautiful thing about quilting. I think there is always something to learn in quilting and that is why we don't tire of it..or after a break.. we will always pick it up again...because it meets a need within us.
I was a quilter before it became my "business" (I hate calling it that) I will be a quilter long after this ends...it is something deep within me.
Well I think most others have probably already said everything...Many of us would grade ourselves as beginner quilters.
You obviously have very special gifts that go far beyond quilting...a caregiver....God blessed you with that....not many people could/can do that.
I also have to just say that I haven't taken your quilt out of the box yet ( I am actually doing that tomorrow) and I am not one bit worried about your seam allowance...whether or not it is perfectly square..what kind of machine it was sewn on or anything else you mentioned....I am absolutely positive I won't have any issues.
Blessings to you my friend!
