Discouraged
#71
Oh and too ... just to let you know, I have not tried the simple pattern I sent to you because after I started making the star patterns with the short cuts I found to make them, then it was so simple for me, and, so I have just stuck with that so far. It makes so many different looks to a quilt.
I can share all the short cuts I have found if you want. Like sewing long strips together and then cutting them to get a half triangle square. Or, the one where you sew three pieces of fabric together and then use a square ruler to lay on it and cut out a great block piece... I am still getting use to terms too so please forgive me all you professional quilters :-)...
I would adopt you if I were a quilter with years of experience... I know how you feel but don't give up after you make a few little blocks you will feel comfrotable enough to make a whole quilt. And, I found that I got discouraged along the way because it just wasn't looking right but after I layed it out all the with the blocks together Wow it looked good....

I don't want stars, diamonds, triangles, just squares. I am getting burned out on all the info and still not knowing anymore than I did when I started. I think I'll just buy a quilt.

...try this one link "allpeoplequilt" lots of free patterns and ideas on that website, and, try doing a search online at "you tube" with typing in just the terms... like "half quarter square quilt" don't forget each time you do a seach you have to include the word "quilt" or "quilting" or else you will all sorts of silly stuff.

It is the tube quilt method. It is fast, easy and goes together very easily. It is great for a beginner because your points go together so perfectly and all it all squares.
