This is exactly where I land. Assemble it, finish it, and keep it as a proud memento of how far you come and how much you've learned! Use it to celebrate yourself.

Ricky Tims does a wonderful and generous thing - he displays his first quilts right along with his "show" quilts. I think this is fabulous for a couple of different reasons:

1. It shows the rest of us that everyone has promise, and if we allow ourselves to make mistakes, explore new concepts and techniques, and say "what if" to ourselves, we too can make some fabulous pieces!

2. It shows us that we don't need to be ashamed of how awful we were when we started. If Ricky is proud, we can be proud.
