* You can do any block/design/technique you want! We all learn by trying new things. Find something that makes your heart happy or intrigues you and just 'do it'! (It also teaches patience, good ripping skills, and satisfaction)
* Ask questions! Either here or to your support group, or both!
* Share what you learn! Techniques are constantly being changed, improved, reverting to an older method, developed.
* There IS more than one way to do any thing.
* Document somewhere (blog, scrapbook, dairy, log) your quilts as you make them AND
* Label your quilt with pertinent info so in 50+ years, the history of it is preserved!
