That makes two of us. My mother would get so upset with me when I was young and I would continue to rip out seams, because they were not to my satisfaction. She would always say just put it down and come back later, but I could never do that. My quilting group seems to have a problem with this too. They tell me it is close enough and they would rip it out for it, well I just have to have it right in my way of thinking. I made a king size quilt for my Dad when I really first got into quilting and had no instructions from anyone at the time 20 or more years ago. I did not know at the time I needed to begin machine quilting from the center, and being the dummy I was, I just started at one edge and kept going. Well........, I ended up taking all of the quilting out and started over because it began to fold up on me. Believe me that one quilt taught me a well earned lesson on machine quilting. I have since done the same thing because it just didn't satisfy me, but not because I started in the wrong place.But I square up as I go, and often I still rip seams before I get the block ready to square up. My seam ripper and I are like identical twins we are so closely knitted together. lol Where in Ky.? I lived in Campbellsville, for about 6 mo. then on to Scottsville.
