I agree with what has been said and of course most of us have been where you are. I haven't read all the entries but I agree with the ones that say check your quarter inch seam on your machine. I had to move my needle over one position after I tried a test of 6 strips 1 and half inches and sewed them together then measured them and they were all out a fraction. Adjusted my needle setting and all went much better. Having said that - I still have terrible blocks and points confound me. I have dyslexic tendencies and maths is a huge issue for me so quilting poses its challenges in other ways as wellf or me. But I work it and let it stretch me but not crush me. Keep up the great work. It is worth the tormenting times for those great moments of colour and gift giving.
