I can't speak for anyone else but I bought the Glacier Pines pattern, took a look at it and was so intimidated by it I was going to give it away. I had never done any paper piecing before. Then I saw the Cattails in the Meadow and decided I might could do this. Nothing like starting at the top instead of learning on something simple. Well, long story short I started on it and am completely hooked. I can not wait to start another one. So if I can do it so can you. Just do it.
