Naw, you're a wannabe quilter. How else are you going to learn? What is the worst that can happen?
I am now taking quilting classes to focus on getting better with my machine quilting. Until now, I have limited myself to Stitch-in-the-ditch straight-style quilting. Not perfect, but done!
Comeon, chicky! You can do it.

Ladies (and gentlemen, if applicable) you have made my day! Your answers are precious...and some extremely funny. Thank all of you for your support and confidence building. I love this board!!!
I think...I will consider myself a (whisper) quilter!?!?!
PS: After I started this thread I read another r/t doing a rag quilt and it suddenly dawned on me I have completely finished a rag quilt. I wasn't happy with the finished project and it is stored away somewhere.
Now I know (by following this board), I am much too critical of my work and I need to find that rag quilt for my 2-yr-old DGD. It is pink and in the shape of a cat with applique eyes, nose and mouth.
This board is a real morale-booster!!!

When I take the brand new finished quilt out of the washer and hang it on the line and stand back and look at it and watch it flap in the breeze then I can say I am a quilter and know that the quilt and I have bonded for life no matter who has it! Edie

I still tie most of the quilts I make, as its easier on my back. When people ask me "Oh, you quilt?" I usually say "I'm learning" not because I haven't quilted a queen size, but because I still can't always get my star points to come out right and I haven't tried curves!
