    Musings on Murphy's Laws of Quilting

    Been working on a quilt with lots of points to match. Why is it that the points are always perfect when you've sewn the block in upside down? One of Murphy's Laws, I guess. What other laws of quilting have you run into?
    People will see your quilts long after you're gone - NOT your housework!

    If you love a fabric, and need more, it is nowhere to be found. If you see a fabric you hate and would never use, you will receive a bolt of it for Christmas.

    If it is liquid and within 10 feet of the WIP you will spill it!

    If you can't find something, it will turn up as soon as you buy another one...

    Anything dropped on the floor will roll to the farthermost location. (or bounce!)

    I agree with ALL the posts but the one that applies to my quilting is Sandygirl's post. I put fabric away and then I CAN'T FIND IT when I NEED IT !!

    If you give an item to Goodwill, you'll find a need for it within two weeks! This just happened to me...again!!!
    Hello from Shenandoah Valley, VA. Quilting a few years. Love the process of creating the quilt top, but don't like making the sandwich of top, batting and backing as much. We have two Labrador Retrievers, a yellow and a chocolate. Blessings to all!
