Yea...I think we all enjoy what we do and just want to jump in and get going so we end up doing some of these happy accidents. Happy accidents because when you finally finish you will probably have 2 very nice quilts instead of one. Did a pattern one time and it said to cut all fabric face up. Well I didn't and so could not get half the quilt to work. When I realized that i had skipped that part of the directions, ended up cutting out more blocks and had two very cute quilts. One with pinwheels going right and the other with pinwheels going left.
