These threads have made me feel more like diggin in and going for it. I too am afraid of messing up. I seen a quilt the other day in my LQS and it wasn't perfect either. It had some machine quilting done on blocks and several of the blosks were crooked, lol I thought at the time that looks like something I could do. It made me feel better though seeing others mistakes. I am my worst critic. I am going to staret on a small top I have done, not pretty but it will work for practice. When I feel like I am ready I am going to quilt my Christmas Quilt. I so want to do this. I hope all has a wonderful Easter.
