I don't think we ever stop learning ... no matter what we do (sewing, painting, crocheting, any craft). I do think we improve our skills with the more we do. Even the most proficient quilters make mistakes sometimes. Sometimes a light bulb goes off and we realize "oh that's how it's done". Ha. Just enjoy the process and each quilt you complete and you'll see how much you improve. This is a great place to learn and get advice.
