My friend Becky was my first quilt teacher. She would make me rip out imperfect seams and redo them. If I wouldn't, she would do it for me. Lesson not learned. I will fix a very obvious mistake. I cut accurately but my points were often cut off. I am doing a BOM and the points are so much better as I think I have transitioned from a beginner quilter to a advanced intermediate quilter. I pin alot because I do like my blocks and sashing to line up perfectly.
