I consider myself still a newbie at quilting as I have not done alot of various patterns yet. As I see photos of quilts done on this digest I'll save the pic to my "Future Quilts". If I can find the name of this quilt that just helps me more later. I've been trying to do a different quilt each time so I expand my knowledge instead of doing the same thing over and over though I might like that particular pattern. Sometimes I also can look at the photo and figure out how it was done but dissecting the blocks, sometimes I'm totally lost. I find a lot of info from all you that keeps me trying to improve myself and my skills. If I goof up which I do a lot of times, I just consider it a lesson learned and move on. I refuse to let it get the best of me as that means I've let it beat me.
Just my thinking on the subject.
