there are reasons other than it being my 'first' why I named this quilt top "Beginners Luck". The book I used called for a specific amount of several different coordinating fabrics and I scrapped the whole quilt! I had several differant blues I used for backgrounds and I alternated these in a cycle as I went through the book in order- well the final layout of the top according to the instructions was not in the order that they were pieced!
Also I had no clue about printed fabric, plaids, solid, hots,colds, any of the fabric rules and color rules- i was dumb and still am -although I'm for enough along to pay attention to these things even though I still dont "get" alot of it. This whole quilt top was a complete guess- I just picked the scrap fabric I wanted to use for each template and connected them LOL ~ Lee
