I only do what I think I will enjoy and I don't care what others think. I have tried new things, some I liked and some I didn't, but it was my choice!!!
So do what is fun and comfortable for you and don't worry about what others can do or what you think you ought to be doing.

Oh my goodness no! Take two squares, rectagles...whatever you like...wrong sides together with some batting sandwiched in between and sew an " X ". Going from one corner to an opposite corner. Then when all your blocks are done...arrange how you like and sew them all together. No border/binding required. Just sew around the outside about 1/2 inch. Then your gonna clip all your seems. Wash and dry and your done! Let me know if i could be of any more help.
