my first attempt had many mistakes, sharp angles where there should be smooth curves, beautiful curves where there should have been angles, etc.... but in he end it was really quite pretty and not one of my friends (non quilters) could see an error. remember that unless we are judging a piece we see things as a whole. so forgive your mistakes and celebrate the whole. It will be beautiful.

The best advice I got was to sing while you machine quilt. It occupies part of your brain so you're not so totally concentrated on your quilting and you get better flow. I was skeptical when the teacher told us that but it seems to help.
