Such great advise from so many fellow quilters! Follow your heart and your gut instincts! The first class I took had a teacher that told me pretty much the same things....My plain jane machine wasn't good enough, blah, blah, blah!!! If you don't jump in, you'll never get your feet wet! What is the worst that can happen? You'll do just fine.. We are all our own worst critics! There is no perfection in this quilting world...the "mistakes" we make are what makes our quilts unique to us. Add borders...miter corners or don't...just take the plunge and go for it! Be sure to post pics when you are done!!
