I will take opinions, advice and insights from anyone, mull it all over and use the parts I like for a project. You can add or dismiss any information that comes your way.
It takes time to become self assured about your own creative ability.
I would suggest an on line class or LQS class that will challenge you.
Also try making a shortlist of three to five things you want to put in a quilt, for example:
1. use only three colors that are contrasting
2. use three different blocks
3. set on point
4. use red cornerstones
Now make it work! I saw this tip in a book a while back and it helped me to start designing my own stuff.
Don't dismiss any help, advice is just that, use it or don't, but keep the info tucked away for the future!
peace
