Default my experience with Folded Corner Unit

I have set myself for a big challenge. I decided to make a quilt base on the picture. Drew it on the graph paper, did my calculations, made first block and adjusted my measurements, it was needed only on one piece and then I began to chain piece. After doing one section I decided to remeasure, and good that I did.

I was making Folded Corner Unit where instructions (from one of my quilting book) says to sew on the diagonal line of the square. Well, I am redoing every strip that I sew.

Now I am sewing next to the diagonal line in order for the corners to meet.

Did any of you had the same experience?

I also realize that 1/4 inch marking on the sewing machine plate is not accurate, I had to remeasure and use stack of sticker for a guide.

I am not complaining, I just set myself for some challenges.

Thanks for reading
