Sometimes that first cut into new fabric actually hurts me. The more I love the fabric. The more it hurts...

Not a newbie thing - been doing it for 5 yrs and just realized that the more complicated patterns end up giving me less trouble than the easier ones - must be the level of concentration! SO - give them a try!

I think I'm afraid of failing and ruin fabric. Is this a normal newbie thing???

Be brave. For quilters there's always a challenge ahead. A pattern we've never tried, an experiment with colors, new friends to met. Its not always comfortable but always rewarding. Just try to make one of us stop!
