Ignorance is truly bliss. I don't press(iron, who cares.) the seams while making blocks, only finger press. I mix washed and unwashed fabric. My stash closet is a mess, I use any kind of thread (I buy thread at yard sales, auctions, thrift stores) but now stay away from any brand of thread that looks "linty". My thread color does not normally match the fabric. I copy patterns (don't send the police please). For years I worked in a tariffed telecommunications environment, rules and regs for everything. My quilting is my place where what I want to do, I do.

I machine-bind...or at least I plan to. I don't pre-wash.
What I've found comforting is that I don't really know "the rules" so therefore, I do what I want and see what happens ! Sometimes Ignorance is truly bliss !
