You won't believe this --- started a quilt yesterday, cut out the cream fabric according to directions. I ALWAYS set the finished cut pieces to my left. Started sewing and discovered I need some 2" cream colored blocks...hmmmmmmm okay - I screwed up --- OH LOOK, there's some extra cream on the right!!! SCRAPS! YAY. Cut them, made the 4 blocks with 16 2" blocks. now I need to sew the cream around the blocks...OH NO!!!! I needed 8 5 1/8" blocks......I CUT the wrong fabric!!! So, I went 60 mile round trip to go to town and get some more cream fabric ------BUT wait!!! Joann's is having a sale!!! $50.00 later (for that 3/4 yard).......I come home and start sewing. hmmmmm what's this on the right side of my sewing machine????? OH 8 5 1/8" blocks ----------I HAD cut them!!! I didn't need to go to town!!!!!! ROLMAO!!!! Yip - I'm losing it! And no - my sewing room is NOT messy!!!! I'm just losing my MIND!!! :oops:

Maybe you are just too organized. That would be my explanation!

So nice to hear others make the same kind of mistakes I do! Don't worry, your secret is safe with us, afterall you could rat us out to our husbands as well!
