======================================
Okay. I basically did the same thing and it was a chance for me to learn to laugh at myself. My blocks were wiggly. My color choices were so bland. My perspective was all off. I began coming in to the class each time with a smile and a "Wanna' see what I did THIS time?" The ladies, very tough at first, started to smile and really help me! I didn't try to do each block as they did. I took my time trrying to get one done the best way I could. I cut up the blocks to just find a piece that would stay flat!!!! I used the flat squares to make a small lap quilt that I CHERISH. It isn't straight. It isn't a prize but it is mine. I love to see how far I have come in so many ways. I did get smarter and I even began a beginner's course because no one wanted to do it and now, we are about twenty relative newbies, all together in a loving class where we all learn together. We take courses and teach each other the new lessons. Be kind to yourself. Use laughter to soften other people and love whatever you do. Hugs to you and have fun.

I also did the same thing it helped me to learn different techniques and my confidence started to build. I've been doing them for five years some are beautiful some I hide but all I have learned from.
