I buy good fabrics to avoid problems but I know problems occasionally happen with every manufacturer.
I should stick to baking - that I don't screw up!
Relax. Unless its going in a show it doesn't have to be perfect. Do your best, learn with each one, & soon you'll wonder what was so hard. :thumbup:
Keep baking but don't give up on quilting!!
PS I prefer to make the blocks too big & cut down instead of blocking. Hope this helps.
