Default Picking up quilting again after many years.

I just retired from teaching and now have time to quilt again. I'm not very accurate yet, but am having a wonderful time. I feeling very creative.

Greetings and welcome from New Hampshire
Since I seem to rarely achieve it, have decided accuracy is overrated.

Greetings and welcome from another person challenged by the accurate 1/4 seam allowance.
One reason I do lots of paper piecing and appliqué and patterns like log cabins is because they allow me to correct for my inaccurate seam allowances.
