You would not believe how many times I riped out a block,some times a whole row because the row above didnt lineup.I felt like giving up but it was an anniversary gift for my son and daughter.It had to get done.The ladys in my quilt shop were just excited as I was to finally finish it and get it to the quilter to finish.It was my first queen size quilt.They got it in the mail and just loved it.They didnt see all my mistakes.I had a 2inch piece that was up side down and they didn't notice it.I was being so hard on my self and for no reason.It's an heirloom and some day some one might see that piece and laugh but by then I will be gone and who will care.Think about it our lives arent perfect and we all make mistakes and life goes on.Enjoy the new friends and good times by all.You will learn new stuff untill you die and enjoy doing it.God Bless
