Karla, I had the same thoughts and did the same thing that you did, all these years I had let intimidation keep me in the ditch! lol! Finally....I came to the conclusion that I might not quilt perfect but I could quilt the best that I was able to and let time take care of the rest. At that point I jumped in and started to stipple! Mine looks very close to yours at this point but the fear is gone!!!! yeah!!!! Not only am I wanting to do and learn more but letting go of that perfection desire has also made it more fun and relaxing! I think you did a great job and have made it past the first hurdle!
