I just finished my first quilt (yes I posted a picture in the picture section). I have such mixed feelings. Happy, proud, disappointed, etc........

How do you all feel when you finish one?

If I've spent a fair amount of time, I'm grateful that I can move on the the next project. Usually I'm just happy that I have finished another one and it wasn't sitting in a box for years and years.

Yes, I am disappointed because I made LOTS of mistakes. I'm learning.

:thumbup: TWIWGTS. It seems that I always have another project to do. So glad I can rack up another one. BrendaK

You should feel proud that you completed it. They are not mistakes, if you have done the best job for your ability, experience and skill level ... and learn something from the parts you are not so happy. As you look back on your quilts, they will tell you the story of your progress!
