Don't worry ... I do that too ... and I'm sure she has rolled over many times in total disgust when I do that ... though I do hear her echoing in my brain!!!!!!!!!!
And I do often praise her for instilling the importance of making points match, be pointy and such. Attention to detail!!!
Oddly enough ... I never learned any quilting from her, other than making patched doll quilts when I was a kid. No assembly line sewing in those days! Again, she'd be appalled if she knew we nested seams ... had to press them all open and MAKE SURE they matched!
