Oh Joyce, it is so good for me, not you, to hear your complaint, as I have had some real problems with the first quilt I have made for my bed. I have always given them away as gifts, now that I tried a harder one for self, it has been nothing but a headache. I have made so many mistakes, I am ready to throw in the garbage too! And to hear from so many more quilters, to know I am not the only one struggling, makes me feel better.
