To Tish05: Don't worry, accuracy will come with time. Just this week I quilted a UFO from the early 90's. Although not really bad piecing, I did use 1/2" seam allowances when I pieced the blocks together. If I recall I was pleased with how the quilt came together. Have I ever come a long way over time! It is so refreshing to find this piece and see how my skills have improved. I've used the same attitude on LA quilting. I started about 18 months ago and notice improvement with each quilt and at the same time realize I can get better...someday I will do feathers! So keep at it and remember the only quilt police out there is the one you impose upon yourself.
