it isn't only you. on a block like this, i proceed very slowly and methodically. i'd rather spend extra hours sewing than extra hour UNsewing and REsewing. :lol:
Well I will have to say this block has taken me longer then any block I have ever made. I have had more mishaps with this one and not because of the block pattern but all because of me. I won't even tell you all everything that has happened. I'll just say a couple of things to give you a clue. When I got to the part where you have the eight pieces, I was cutting off all the edges like they should be and when I was finished realized I had cut off the seam allowances from two of them. Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So of course there is nothing I could do except make two new parts. So I made the two and when I went to sew the pairs together realized the two I remade were backwards. Figure out how I did that one! :shock: That is just a small part of what has happened. When I started out it was a fiasco. And it has nothing to do with the pattern. It is all me. Now I am ready to do the Y seam, and I am stalling because I don't think nothing else can go wrong, I KNOW something else will go wrong. So after I am finished lashing myself with all the fabric mistakes I will laugh at myself and go on...... Oh I just love to quilt! :D :D :D :D
Donna, you just don't have the concept of whatever works easiest! lol lol lol See, few weeks ago, i threw in the buttercup log cabin. All i did was cut up the fabric, and lay it out how it will look when it's sewn, then i just sat back and waited!!! lol lol lol Sure enough, couple good BOM'rs got their blocks all done and sewn, and voila, i didnt have to sew mine together for a demo block, cus well, it was already done lol lol Have i sewn that block together yet????? nooooo LOL LOL LOL
