What ever you do and how ever a quilt comes out, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!! Unless it's a business, just enjoy the journey of choosing the fabric, pattern, cutting, sewing and finishing instead of worrying about perfection. I call it cheap therapy. I so love to loose myself in my quilt making. Zaza

Ok start simple again try paper piecing. I can't cut straight just got June Gaylord provitamins and have straight cuts'! Be patient I just had to rip out the entire back of a quilt because of errors. Then had to tie cause wasn't square or something. Teaching myself so winging it!! Lol. Good luck. Try to enjoy it. Suppose to be fun remember.

Keep working on your projects, they will get better. Besides that we all make quilts that are not quite perfect.

Invest in a quarter inch foot with a side quide on it..be extra careful when cutting..measure three times and cut once. Hang in there..quilting is a learning process. After 25 years of quilting..I am still learning new things with each quilt. Each quilt is an adventure..enjoy the journey..half the fun is getting there!
Never be ashamed of your work!
Peace and blessings...keep quilting!

I think the best advice would be to hang in there. :thumbup:

I am a newbie as well...This afternoon I am putting the final boarder on my first quilt. The quilt has MANY mistakes! You know what? I don't care! I love what I did! I had never even tread a needle before this. I know these mistakes will fade with each quilt I do. It's just going on my bed anyway.
Hang in there!
Merry Christmas!

I just try to keep a simple goal in mind - a warm blanket. Nothing else really matters. Also I've ditched the seam ripper for nippers. It's much easier and faster to release seams. Sometimes it's best to embrace your mistakes. This is where the no rules art quilters come into play. If you can't break the rules, you can at least change them.
