Dearest Annesthreads Please don't feel alone. I have no great creativity either. I come up with lots of ideas but then I can't "picture" them in colors or what colors might look good. I am just working on my first quilt. LOL I had it planned, picked some fabrics that were given to me, drew it on paper, colored it in with colored pencils. I really thought, this is going to be so awesome. Then the roadblocks started appearing. First, I never learned to make sure the fabric pieces were large enough. First, I decided my border should match the one tiny block in center. Hunted and with help from quilter's on here, found enough to match for the border. Then I learned to use a mat and rotary cutter, both gifts from a new quilting friend, cut tiny squares all day long. LOL Then Ran out of the white with flower shadows in it , then measured the light peachy flowered and discovered way too small a piece for what I was doing. SO needless to say, there it all sits. I am not creative enough to come up with another solution for this. So, I have decided to stick to the scrappy quilts for now, until I become more creative in quilting. LOL These ladies are super and I feel more comfortable asking them for help and suggestions than anyone in my family. Of course, my family is more critical of me than helpful. So like others stated, keep your chin up, make it your own and you will be more proud of the achievement. HUGS from another newbie. Rachel
