As I progress in my first year of quilting I have discovered the importance of taking it slow and making good habits. As a mender and clothing sewer I could take the shortcuts and get away with it. I have found out that in quilting accuracy and and avoiding shortcuts is a must. I tried it the other way and paid for it. Each quilt I make gets better. I think everyone has been there at some point. And when I have two many projects on the table is when I tend to cheat.
