OMG, is this what I have to look forward to???? I'm about a stones throw away from finishing my hand stitched hexagon quilt top. The thought of even putting the top, batting and bottom together scares the bageebies out of me, let alone the basting part of it. I want to hand stitch the WHOLEEEEE thing. I hadn't even thought about binding ..... Someone slap me now! ! ! LOLOL
Somedays our thoughts are just not in the right places. I've sewed my hexs on so that the paper parts are on the front of the quilt top. I used to make 'sections' while I was waiting at the doctors office or taking my nieces to different appointments and waiting for them. I once thought I was sewing one of those smaller 'sections' to the larger quilt and actually ended up sewing the top and bottom ends together sorts making a tube out of a very large quilt top, LOL...Funny Now......Now then, lololol....Lets see..what else? Oh, when I was in the paper covering phase, way back then, I printed out the wrong size hexs, cut them out and had them stacked ready to cover before I noticed that they were a little smaller than the hexs I was using. I put them in a pile anticipating throwing them out at a later time. Later that evening, not thinking, I grabbed the stack of smaller hexs and sat for almost 3 hours covering the wrong size paper pieces until I remembered they were the wrong size. All during those 3 hours, I kept wondering why the fabric was a bit larger than the papers I had covered the night before. I figured I'd cut the fabric wrong. Good thing I was only basting the fabric onto the paper pieces, I turned into a frog and started to rippit, rippit, rippit all apart, lolol....I'm a brand new quilter, working on my first quilt. Wow! If this is what I have to look forward to...Hmmm, Please, someone SLAP me NOW! ! !
