That is part of what is so great about this board, you can check out what you are doing. I am another that is self taught and you would laugh at some of the mistakes I made but as long as you don't keep making them then you are improving. Please don't stop quilting just because you got a bit confused. It takes courage to admit you were wrong and obviously you have lots of courage. Keep on going. If you have finished 3 quilts since July obviously there are a lot more quilts in your future.
