Thank you for the encouragement! I have an in progress SBS quilt - guess how long it's been in progress? Since WAYYYY back when the patterns were online and FREE! LOL* I have about 14 blocks done, but it for me too has been a huge learning experience. You make me want to get back at it. That was the quilt that motivated me to learn paper piecing, and the first mariners compass I'd ever done was the one in that quilt - and it is AWFUL. But I am not going to rip it, because in many ways it is a memory book of sorts of my progression. Now I just need to finish the other bazillion blocks in the quilt! ;)
