I have a giant, scrappy log cabin that I cut and started sewing probably 18 or 19 years ago. I did not know to use a quarter inch seam. Mine are a half inch. They are also all pressed open. I know I owned a rotary cutter then but I think I may have used scissors to cut it.
I know you all will laugh but we all used rotary cutters for cutting out garments. I rarely knew where the ruler was because I didn't use it for anything.
Back to that quilt.....I keep meaning to finish it but I don't know if I have the heart. I guarantee you that if I had to hand quilt anything it would never ever get done. That gives me a sick feeling just to think about!
