Gee, if I believe that, then I might as well close the door on my play room and never look back. That would just take all the fun out of everything!

Luckily, I always like to think for myself and don't believe everything I hear :)

I must be the worst, because I have none of those. Where was this show anyway?

Most quilts are not in the geometry but in the following of a pattern where the geometry is already done. And I agree with persistance. Quilting is like they say about writers--just make yourself get started every day and the quilt will follow.

What about fabric addiction?

I was told in the 4th grade I would probably never be able to grasp the concept of geometric shapes and putting them together. I think we can do what we want to do--except math which takes a certain brain function I don't seem to have a complete grasp of--

Quote: I went to a lecture and they said to be a good quilter you need to have patience, good knowledge of geometry and a precise nature. Do you think that is true?
I would alter the second one slightly to being able to tell when the geometry is clearly "off", but not necessarily knowing why...just that it's wrong. There are unlimited tools these days that can help with the math and geometry of quilting if it's just not your forté. As for patience and a precise nature, I agree completely. All three can be learned...even self-taught...quite easily.

Really????... I thought you only needed to love fabric. I only took remedial math in school, the details tend to bore me

Sounds reasonable to me, but I would not regard them as the primary characteristics required.
