Yes, I guess you would say I'm crazy. I made my Dad a king sized log cabin quilt for B-day/Father's Day combined, his birthday fell on Father's Day that year. This was in 1991, just after my Mother passed away. I wanted to do something extra special for him. Well I was farily new at quilting and had taught myself. Not knowing then that I should have started in the center and worked out. Instead I started on one side and worked to the other, thus having a messed up and wrinkled quilt. I was machine stitching it, as I do all of mine. Well I ripped all of that mess out and started over. A friend told me after i began ripping it out to start in the center. I have always done that since. But it does take a while to do. I was only stitching in the ditch, but I stitched in all the ditches, around each block and in each seam of the log cabin. So I had plenty to remove. I check now, as I go along, for wrinkles and messes. I watched Sharon Schalmers video on basting a quilt. I plan to do that on my next one, instead of pinning like I normally do. The one I'm currently working on is a reversible quilt, and is done block by block, so I don't have to worry about it. GOOD LUCK and hope it all works out for you.
