It's exciting to have this challange ahead of me, but i never realized how much i think inside the box... my husband is like...just start cutting and see where you wind up...I don't know if i have this in me to do it.

Can anyone relate? How do you get past the fear of messing up lol???

Thanks

Just remember you don't make mistakes just new creations .. That is what I tell everyone I was never taught how to quilt just read & did what looked right .
