Yes, I have this happen to me way more than I want it to. Some quilts just seem to fly together & others are like pulling teeth. I just sent a Jelly Roll Race off to the LA'er & I cannot tell you how happy I was to see that little puppy go out the front door! I was unhappy with it every step of the way (tho I kinda liked the way it turned out) & am glad it's a gift (that's awful to say, isn't it?).
