You can do it Leena. If *I* can attempt it you can too. I know that it looks scary but don't look at the big picture. Only look at one block. The flowers and leaves for the center block aren't that bad. Relatively big and you only need to learn how to do a couple of different shapes. Post your concerns here, we're on your side and will try to help out.
I know ahead of time that my circles won't always be circular and my points will take awhile to get down. I also know that the only way I can get better is to practice and this group is a great group to admit to and share both accomplishments as well as failures. I will be posting my failures also. :)
Love it Bonni, that a girl, you're so right, practice, practice, practice! And when you get better, why can't you redo a block if your not happy with it. Make a pillow to match the quilt from the discarded block.
Try my suggestion about using the hole replacement circles to keep your circles circular, it works. If you don't have any, trace the circle on a self adhesive label and use that. When you have the edge to turn against it really helps, remember to trim to 1/16" and clip the curve, and take very small stitches.
Tomorrow I am posting my finished block and I will take a close up of my circles so you can see how circular they do look.
I chose the center block to start because the pieces are big and would give everyone something relatively easy to get their feet wet!
