You are not a "newbie" when you can help a fellow quilter with any part of quilting. :o

Does it prove I am a newbie by telling you I dont even know what a Y seam is? I am also doing the Craftsy BOM and I did learn that I HATE paper piecing! I havent even finished the April blocks because I am hating it! However, I will move on and the point of doing it at all is because I shy away from stuff as well and am hoping to learn some new skills so I will advance past the standard square or HST stuff.

Don't worry about labels! Do what you love and enjoy the process. Who cares if the blocks are easy! It's the end result that counts and some "easy" blocks look phenomenal when finished. So ready,get set, and GO do the things you enjoy.

I don't know about the label, "quilter". I just know when I was 4, my great grandmother set me up in the middle of her feather bed, gave me some scrap material and a needle and thread. She let me "sew" them together. I had fun and that's all that mattered then and that's all that matters to me now. :o

I think I will be a "newbie" forever. lol. I won't live long enough to be experienced enough to make quilts as beautiful as those shown on this board. But I am happy just doing the simple things.
