Thanks to each of you for your kind words. Learning has been a challenge, my first hurdle was to make a straight stitch and second cutting accurate sizes. Needless to say that has improved a wee bit, even with all the mistakes I kept going. My best friend was my seam ripper and a few quilts were worn thin from all the ripping that had to be done. There was times I put it down and said that was it.... no more for me. Then the next day I would be back with determination to not let it beat me. Each quilt has become a little better but have not stepped out on any real complicated one.
I am glad Becky talked me into posting the picture on the board as your kind words have inspired me to never quit.
