LadyE, I felt that way. I had been quilting less than a year when I made my first one, but I had paid for the pattern and ruler and was determined to use them. It was no problem. I just laid the wedges out in pairs as I cut them so I could just go down the row to sew them together. I didn't want to sew the SS and turn it, so I made narrow bias binding which I like. I've only made three, but I have fabric for three more.
