I attended a Ricky Tims workshop a few years back. The presentation included a display room of his quilts rhapsody and medallion collection. Two of his first attempts at quilting were also displayed. He wanted people to know that everyone, no matter how talented, starts quilting as a "beginner" and makes mistakes. It's a learning process.
Some mistakes can lead you to a new avenue of design.

Winging it is great! Do you have a thread where you have some of your work? I'd like to see some examples. I' always up for something new -
And remember, there is no dumb question. We all have a lot of opinions, and are willing to offer them.
thanks for the answers ladies...had no idea if I should leave it on the fat quarters or not...
here's a thread of the quilts I've made:
