I have been sewing a long, long time. Quilting, not so long. Just the other day I thought, now how in the world do I make that mistake AGAIN. We are our own worst critics because we KNOW where EVERY little boo boo is. No one else does (usually) unless we point it out. Just keep going and you will gain so much confidence and know-how. This quilt looks great from where I am sitting. The colors go well together. Please share your next project with us--and quickly. Remember we didn't learn to walk proficiently in one day.
