    REMEMBER--Done is better than perfect. With time, the skills come more easily. But finish one, just to get it done and move on... Your piece looks great, so seems you are over-worrying without just cause.

    each time you ripped out did you look closely to determine why you were dissatisfied and correct it. Also you are on the right track to find a class. It will help you

    I think your work is excellent and so are your fabric color choices.

    Not much I can add here that the others haven't said. Only QUIT being so hard on yourself. Your points look much better than mine. I quilt for the enjoyment of it, not to be judged by anyone. If they don't like what I do....P*** on them. Girl, there are no perfect quilts so quit trying to be perfect. Enjoy the journey.

    Your piecing looks perfect to me!
    There is (or at least was a few months ago) a shop called Sweetheart Quilts on Denver Ave there in Loveland. I know they have wonderful classes and are some of the nicest, most helpful ladies you could meet

    Carol..This looks great to me.
    Don't be so hard on yourself.
    One learns from mistakes and there are many books for beginers and instructions that are easy to understand.
    Plus how lucky are we that we have this board that everyone is more than happy to help.
