Variety is the spice of life. I would like to have time to try all of the patterns, methods, etc. I enjoy trying various methods. My brain needs to be stimulated by learning new things. Just because I did it once doesn't mean it is for everyone. I just took the instructions one line at a time. Sometimes I had to try try again but I was determined. I would never want the quilting police (or Betty Cotton) to inspect my work. However, it is mine and I did it for me and not for show or competition. Actually, I do try harder and unsew more often if it is something I plan to give away. Enjoy whatever you decide to do.
