My first quilt was a lemoyne star and I almost quit quilting with that project. I was delusional and arrogant and thought I could start out with that. I drafted my own pattern and thought I was hot stuff until I started to put it together having no idea about corners or 1/4 inches. It came out real nice and my daughter has it and treasures it. I have since then learned a lot and have made 2 more for my other DD and DGD. I have also taken several classes to improve my skills. LOL
