Mario never went out of style ;) I've never seen mario fabric! I'd like to see a picture of that if possible. eta: found this link:

I too fear the first cut. I feel wasteful if I mess it up. I'm not brand new, but I'm not seasoned either. I have yet to make a twin, full etc size quilt. So far it's just been blankies. I'm excited to try however, and that excitement should propel me forward, but that nagging fear of failure always pops up in the back of my mind. I just got some new fabric from fabric.com and it's laying out on my ironing board as I type. The panel I got was not what I ordered, so I called customer service and told them about it. I don't have to send back the panel I did get, she said I could use it or donate it, so I'm gonna try and use it. Now I just need fabric to match it :lol: It's an endless cycle!
