I can relate to all of your topics, mistakes and tears. I am a new quilter trying to self teach and have used your site for much of my learning. I just want to thank all of you. Right now I am struggling with triangles and have decided that hand stitching is the only way I'm going to get the points to match while I wait for someone to come along to explain how to do them in a way I can understand. I also understand the "addiction" materials, threads, books and patterns.
