Sounds like you have a really good support group. Don't give up, you will regret that move. Do one block at a time (thus the name BOM), that keeps it from becoming overwhelming. There are not any quilt police that are going to come and get you. Do your best and learn something new on each block if you can. Try to make each block better than the last. Be consistant with your 1/4 inch seam and they will all fit in the end. Then in years to come you will be able to look back and realize how much yo have learned. Good Luck! ! !
