I used to be nervous when I first started quilting. It was because I didn't want to "mess up." I was afraid of making mistakes. Then I heard how quilters would intentionally make a "mistake" to show that only God was perfect. Well, I don't have to intentionally make a mistake. I do fine just making mistakes unintentionally! I am now of the midset that mistakes are okay. It's not like I'm going to enter one in a show. It doesn't matter if you cut the fabric the wrong size or get the blocks all in the wrong order, or the colors do not go together. You just fix the "mistakes" or just leave them in there and make do. No one else cares that your quilt is not perfect nor do quilts have to be perfect to be enjoyed. Just get out the scissors and go for it. Enjoy the process!
