You need some confidence? Here - have some of mine! I've dived into the quilt pond and gone in over my head so many times I've lost count. But I learn something with every quilt I make (even if the lesson is "don't do that again"). There's mistakes in a lot of my quilts, but I love them as much as I love the quilt. Here's a lesson I learned from my Mom - "if they're looking that close, they're looking too close". Just enjoy the process. You may need to establish a close personal relationship with your seam ripper, but, so what? It's the process, the feel of the fabric, the hum of your machine, the chance to create art - that's what you will enjoy, just as long as you dive in!
