I think the more we quilt, the better we become. I know my first quilt was a disaster, nothing seemed to match up. But my stepmom never noticed anything! Most people won't notice any mistakes. Everytime I make a quilt, it is made with love for that person. That is what I think about while doing it. If I make a little mistake, oh well. Things could be worse. I just enjoy being able to make a quilt. I love the thought of being a cozy quilter!!!
