Nov, I have always felt the same way you do. I feel my piecing of the tops is so inferior compared to many on this board. I a self taught and never took classes. I love doing it but most of mine are of my own design. Due to an injury that has required 3 surgeries (in 3 months) leaving me unable to do any quilting, I had to send my GD's wedding quilt to an LAQ all the way across the country. This is what she was ble to do with my quilt. I am really impressed.

You need to reconsider having an LAQ do one of your quilts. It is well worth it.
