YOU CAN DO IT! Only a couple things you really need to remember. One, you should take some time and practice making 1/4" seams. Mark your machine with tape, use a 1/4" foot, or mark a foot with a sharpie. But, if your seams are off, your quilt blocks will not fit. Second (and I think incredibly important), take a breath and don't be hard on yourself. Most mistakes no one else will ever see and the person receiving the quilt will be so happy that you made it, they won't care if there is a 'special design element' that wasn't planned to be in it. With every quilt you make, you will get better and you will feel more comfortable. Please start with a simple quilt (like a split rail) so that you will get past your jitters and enjoy the process. Almost forgot - take your time. Don't expect to sit down and complete it in a day. When you start to get tired or frustrated - walk away. Come back the next day fresh and clear headed. Every one of us has a UFO (unfinished object) that we will never finish because it stopped being fun and became work.
