If you don't give yourself permission to make mistakes in quilting, it just won't be as much fun. If there is a way to screw up a pattern, this girl has found it!! Example, the disappearing nine patch. Who could screw that up you ask. Well I did! It's not meant for one directional prints. Have to do a lot of unsewing. Point of this is just jump in both feet. The more fabric you use the more you can buy!
