Hello & Welcome Andi. Yes some things do get easier but even then, we all make mistakes from time to time. Gosh my first quilt had me crying and cussing and I could not begin to understand how anyone in their right mind could actually enjoy this hobby! After I did complete it, I could not wait to start another. Then another. And I still learn with every project I make, 13 years after the first one. So keep on keeping on & ask any question that might cross your mind.
