In a rage
#1
Hi haven't been here for a while. Out of town. Now I'm back and doing the quilts for my twin grandsons due in 2 WEEKS! I bought 2 kits, they are off kilter, I am also obviously a lousy quilter because I can't do this. It takes fussy cuts, etc., fortunately I am going to tie it because this puppy wouldn't lie flat if you ran over it with a steam roller. Got one top done and trying to fussy cut the second one. The fabric frayed and I have barely enuf to cut what I need. I am so stressed. I even washed the second one differently - gentle and air dried it. Still was frayed. Thanks for listening. I hate the kits but they were the only ones I found that were Baby Signs. Can you tell I'm ornery now? Sorry.

The problem is you washed it. Kits are generally cut so there's very little extra. If you wash it and shrink it sometimes it shrinks past the little extra. I've gotten kits that there was barely enough to square up to cut the pieces from! No way would there have been enough if it was washed.

Can you find something else to add to it that will match.?
