Linda, I was just like you. Sounds like there are others out there like us, as well. Quilting should be fun. I had to sit myself down and have a little chat. I told myself that it was okay to start a project. It's okay to not finish a project. It's okay to make a mistake. The purpose of quilting is to relax and enjoy myself. Once I let go of some of my OCD, I started sewing and actually finish some things! Don't worry about how well you are doing. Just begin and have fun. Start small. Maybe start with placemats and play around with color choices. See how they blend together. And HAVE FUN!! Post pics of your progress on the board so that we all can encourage you. Maybe you will encourage someone else, too!
