I was a natural rush-ahead-to see-how-it-looks kind of sewer when I started quilting, and I am not naturally precise and fussy and neat - just the opposite.
MTS on this board suggested Sally Collins and I read her book on machine piecing. It totally turned me around about how to construct a quilt. All the steps I was rushing through or skipping became focal points in the process, and I totally relaxed and slowed down and enjoyed it. Result was improved construction and quality, and I'm still learning almost 3 years later. Thanks to both of them!
