I do have a couple of "aha" moments. One is that I realized buying good quality quilt shop fabrics are much better to sew with than the cheaper fabrics (I could not afford the quilt shop fabrics when I started quilting). Second is that I needed a design wall to put up the blocks and not have them laying on the floor or a guest room bed-my little doggie loved to run thru my blocks and thought it was so fun to mess them up!!!! I went to Home Depot and got sheet of foam core or something like that and covered it with some flannel I had and love it. Use it all the time.
