Having started life being intimated by everything, I try not to let much intimidate me now. Did a Double Wedding Ring many years ago. Used a book from John Flynn. It wasn't do bad. Hand quilted it. Love love love a nice New York Beauty. Learned how to paper piece. Have completed 2 Judy Neimeyer patterns. Am working on a 3rd. And I have a paper pieced Feathered Star I'm planning to do. My advice to any quilter is to add a new technique with each new quilt. Don't keep making the same pattern over and over. Although, I do like the Twister pattern for a baby quilt or a quick quilt. Good luck, and keep learning.
