DO YOU ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING?

I recently read an interesting article on Girl Blogger Next Door.  The title was 17 Ways Successful People Think Differently About Money.  Number 17 caught my eye:

“I am constantly learning and growing vs. I already know everything I need to know.”

Although this article was about money, I think this thought could be about anything…quilting for instance.  I’ve been quilting for a number of years but am still learning new ways of doing things. 

How about you?  Are you still learning?  I purchased the above table topper as a kit a number of years ago and for some reason put it aside.

 Maybe I needed to learn a few things before I tackled it? 

 I have been unhappy with the looks of my bindings and watched several videos prior to tackling the binding on this one.  I think I learned a few new things.  This table topper lays nice and flat and the corners aren’t too bad either.

 I like the colors in this piece so much that I have now decided to add a sleeve to the back and hang it on the wall in my spare bedroom.

Another thing I learned was to be brave and cut loose and do some free motion quilting.  I made random leaves in the borders.  The pattern for this table topper is Color Fun Daisies by Linda Sullivan.

ON ANOTHER NOTE: 

• Did you see this on Patchwork Posse?  It is a tutorial for a disappearing 9 patch with a double twist.  Take a look.

Until next time,
