Yesterday I was joining sections of a 2" border. The side border was already attached so I just needed the top and bottom. I was getting tired but down to my last join. I had to rip it out 4 times before I got it. I didn't have to redo any of the other joins...grrr. The icing on the cake is that I was so excited at the prospect of getting the inner border done that I apparently forgot how to measure. I had carefully measured the middle of the quilt-not once but twice. Used the calculator to determing what needed to be trimmed off. I laid my strip down to trim and merrily trimmed it 4" too short. I haven't checked the other border strip yet. I just figured that was my sign to stop for the day.
