You can do what ever you like doing. I will have to admit that last year when I started doing HST & flying geese and anything w/triangles I thought I'd never get the hang of it. Still not so fond of flying geese but not willing to give up. If I didn't have good teachers at my LQS to help I would have given up. Alot of people have problems w/these some do not. Just like some are naturals at FMQ and here I am trying to get my nerves up to make myself to learn. But the main thing when it comes to quilting or anything else in life that is made to make you happy; enjoy the part of it that you do; no matter what it is. Rag quilting is alot of fun to do.
