If it were me, I might say, "Looks like you put a lot of effort into this quilt. If I were you I would look for a quilt guild or LQS in your area where you could find other quilters who could give you a lot of clues and tips to make your quilting easier and a lot more fun. We all have to start somewhere but being with more advanced quilters sure did help me. Also, there are many tutorials on You Tube from MSQC and others on great ways to make quilts. Good luck"
QUOTE=Quilt30;7306499]Ok. Let me ask this question. Lets say a post is made and the quilter says he/she is a new quilter and this is the first quilt and asks for comments. The picture posted clearly shows workmanship that everything is wrong. Not just a mistake here and there.....but really bad work. What kind of comments does one make. Clearly the person needs help. There is no indication in the post of attempting to learn, in fact the poster says he/she is a self learner. Advice of "practice, practice, practice" is clearly not what the person needs. But, there are 150 comments that says, "been there", beautifutiful colors", "no quilt police here, you can do whatever you want", "the person receiving the quilt will appreciate it". Come on......someone who knows nothing about quilting can see mismatched seams. So what should one do......just ignore the post if you can't say something positive. This is the day and age of learning on the internet from many view points. What does one do?
