I've learned that following a patterns saves a lot of seam ripping.
I've learned that that you should always bring the material you are with to match other materials with that patten.
I've learned to mesure tqice and cut once.

This. Totally. I'm a believer in you sew emotions into your work, so if you're annoyed, it transfers. Which is why some projects take me forever, because i'm like "ooooh! better not touch THAT one today!" :lol: and :oops:

1) I've learned to not overcommit.
2) To clean up between projects.
3) To try to finish a project before starting a new one because I rarely go back and finish once I quit something for awhile. (Too hard to find all my fabric and pieces again.)
4) To keep my seam ripper off the bed of my machine because I keep sending it onto the floor behind my table as I sew!
5) To hide my good scissors during popsicle season (because my kids use them to cut the top of the plastic off!)

Oh... and to not feel guilty when I don't make a quilt for someone who asks me for one!

I learned, never quit learning.
That a little time spent on your quilt each day, does get it finished.
I learned that I have to practice, practice on my quilting technique (getting a bit better)
I learned that all of you are Angels.

I've learned that if I keep procrastinating, it's usually because I have a quilt problem I can't seem to solve. Maybe I can't get the right fabrics together or the pattern isn't just what I want.........

I've learned to enjoy the process and not just the finished quilt!
