All I have done so far is meandering. I can't imagine doing feathers or daisies or anything repetitive that have to all look the same.
How do you all do it??? Everyone, even the ones that claim it to be their "first", look so PERFECT. How long did it take you to get to feeling comfortable with it?
My quilts are far from perfect but I only do them for my family and they know that I'm just learning. I have only mastered one all over design that I can do without really thinking about it too much. The only answer is practice. By the time you get a quilt done, especially a large one, you have probably learned one new skill (pattern) really well. At least that's how it's been going for me. Keep at it!!
