    Question Do you have areas you feel your strong in when it comes to quilting?

    Probably the 2 areas I'm strongest in are mixing colors and doing triangles. I love triangles because there is so many wonderful designs you can make with them.

    What about your strong areas?

    I'm not that confident yet to say I have a strong area.....oh, I do know one thing....patience! I tell you, for years I never even tried and now that I am trying I am learning patience and a confidence in myself. Anything I have done is far from perfect but I love doing it and eventually I'll have it down pat.....isn't quilting so much like life...there are so many stages to go through, some are more difficult than others and yet the joy the end result brings is amazing!

    Oh I do like picking colours, takes me a while because I keep changing my mind but think I do that well.

    I'd have to say colors too. Determination is my other strength. It's not coming easy at all to me, but I refuse to give up when I've just barely started.

    Patience and determination for me! Even though I am having a hard time with triangles no matter what method I use, I still love the way blocks come out using them. So I will continue making them and probably ^&%$* the whole time!

    My strength is the sewing. I just love to sew. I don't seem to have a problem putting the pieces together the way they should go even if I haven't done a particular style block before. I also have a lot of patience and I'm sure that helps.
