Anyone who sews has patience. That is the first thing I was asked when I went to learn. Are you patient? "I said, I think so" lol...but I really am or I couldn't do this quilt...so far only one rip, not bad. What I like about this work (I am calling it work, because it is) is, that I really look forward to next puzzle. It is really not as hard as it looks, taken one block at a time. It is really fun. I am really enjoying getting up in the morning and going into my studio and starting..it's like I'm getting paid hahahahahahah
