Do you use a design wall? I am part of a group of 5 quilters. One woman is so creative and never uses a pattern. Her quilts are breathtaking. I bought a panel of wolves, three scenes, and had no idea what to do with them. I started buying material, two ladies gave me fabric they thought would work. I really wanted to do some thread painting, tried on a practice piece and had to admit that it wasn't working for me, just not skilled enough. So I accepted my skill level and moved on. I used my design wall and just kept adding fabric and making simple blocks. I am so proud of how it all came together and my brother loved it. It was a challenge but so worth it. Do what pleases you, for your enjoyment, and keep learning. I do it to renew my sole, not to seek approval from anyone else. Stay strong!
