Confidence, persistance - along with all the comments from above, these are two that you may want to consider. If you are confident you can do it - 1000's of others have, why not you? Along with being persistant - practice a bit now, go on to somthing else, let your practice session sit in the back of your mind, what do you think could be improved on - what can you do to imporve it - try it next time.... It won't happen all at once, but BELIEVE that it will. I'm not a pro, but this is pretty much the way I went about it. And the practice sandwiches - - - I've been practicing sewing them together with binding strip quilt as you go process.
