    How do you know it's time to go to bed?

    I should have quit when I sewed the sashing on both sides of each block. After ripping out one un-needed side, I then started sewing blocks together. Here's when I called it a night.

    Yep, that's when I quit too. Tonight I sewed the lining to the top of a purse without setting in the pieces for the zipper sides. Tomorrow I have a date with Jack.

    If I have too undo I go to bed it is the telling signal I'm not concentrating and need sleep. BUT I get up early and start again.

    Ha ha I know that feeling. Last night I put on one side of a border on a king size quilt upside down! That was cue for my bedtime.

    I know it's time for bed with the first foul up, because experience has shown me if I press on, I will rip out and repeat the exact same error three more times, then give up and go to bed.

    Me, too!! Definitely know the feeling. It doesn't even have to be bedtime, sometimes it's even just time to take a break.

    Definitely a sign--or in my case, maybe my left/right dyslexia kicking in. It is going to be a sweet alphabet quilt.
    Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down the their level and beat you with experience.

    I quit when I snipped a tiny hole in the backing. Uuuuugh! Will tackle the mend today after an appointment.
    One step at a time, always forward.
