even quilters who have been doing it for 10-20 years are still learning- every quilt is a new experience- with it's own (personality) and we always learn something with the process- if it was just (old hat) it would be factory work- and no fun any more- relax- practice- try new things- it is supposed to be enjoyable- so do what you enjoy- and work to get as good as you can at what you like- then learn something new and keep practicing it is always good to learn new techniques- new designs- new ways to do things-...be adventurous- don't spend all your time doing other people's designs- try new things ---it is nothing to fear---what's the worst thing that can happen? you quilt a quilt you are not totally happy with---not the end of the world- just incentive to do something different= learn from it and move on- don't take it so seriously- it's supposed to be fun
