I am so happy you are here! We are halfway through the quilt along now, so I just want to encourage you to stay on track while also telling you to remember that our weekly tasks/goals are not set in stone and it’s okay if you are behind! Wherever you are, it’s okay!

Tips
- Deep breaths! You are doing great!
- Focus on your blocks! Don’t compare yourself to anybody else. You are amazing!
- Be where you are and don’t worry if you are a little behind. You’ll get there eventually. It’s more fun to make the quilt than it is to have a quilt (or that’s my little opinion)!
