yes, we have all done it. thx for the pity partry. I took about half of the 3.5 inch strips apart and will do them some along, as I need them. I guess that is why we are suppose to make a practice block or two, before we do all the sewing completely wrong. but I believe we get lots done, because we just 'wade in' and do it. right?

Well right now I'm crocheting and I swear I've ripped out more than I've put in. I don't know why I had such difficulty with the simplest pattern on earth, a ripple. But I can't stand to find a mistake and not correct it. So we RIP! Sorry you had a bad day but it will be better now. After a day like that I watch so carefully for a little bit! LOL

How about when you go to all the trouble and work to hand piece a lonestar block, well actually 4 of them for the corner of a quilt and they come out so wonky there's no salvaging them? I thought by making templates and having the lines to sew on and then doing it by hand would be the most accurate. No seam ripping here, they're going in the trash. I'll have to use this as a design opportunity and do something different. Or nothing. Maybe just a border with no corner block.
I just wish I understood what the problem was. Every piece was traced accurately and sewed exactly on the lines. Lots of pinning, etc. And oh what a mess they are.
