Finished the Morning Star block today and also the other one. I sure overcame on the morning star. That will be one block I will be very unlikely to make again! It actually came out pretty good - much to my surprise as I had to unsew quite a few times. Started step 2 of the mystery quilt also. Moving right along.

It's late Thursday evening, and was wondering if I'm crazy for even trying this so soon. Making quilted totes is usually for the intermediate to experienced in quilting only. I have only been quilting about 9 months, but I feel like if I studied a pattern long enough I could learn. Are there any special tips to follow? I'm very serious about this. I WILL learn, even if it kills me. Because I am starting my business late in life, I'm determined to make a go of this. I've even purchased a pattern for a tote bag. Should I give it a try or wait a while? Opinions please.

Not sure if it was wonky to begin or if I had stretched it out of shape. And probably most important, using my new Janome 1600P instead of my little Brother.
