Answer
Hi Nikki
Technique goes to over all looks and accuracy
with out it you will have a sloppy job and not co ordinated

patience is necessary as making a quilt can take months to years of ones time depending on size and pattern and the time one spends on it.  with out patience, one will rush and not produce a quality product.

equipment is very important, templates must be accurate inorder for the pattern to come out correctly.  if templates are off then the corners won't match.  fabric is important, if cheap fabric used, quilt wont last and colors can run, thread, if not quality, will break and not hold the quilt together.

if more info, please feel free to contact me
thanks
