I am so frustrated, and sad. Each time I start a new project, I have such high hopes: I'm going to do it right this time, I'm going to cut perfectly, I'm going to do the 1/4 inch seam test before I start piecing, I'm going to use the correct thread and needle, etc. And then, I CAN NOT get the seam to work out so the block is the correct size! I mean, CAN NOT. And then I get frustrated, and I start forcing the blocks together, or re-cutting them, until it all gets so muddled that I don't even want to finish. I know without watching me none of you can probably help figure out what I am doing wrong. I've done 2 test blocks and so far each is too small. I was very careful in cutting, so I know it's something I am doing while sewing. I try to sew a "scant" 1/4. I honestly feel like giving up quilting, and after being so excited to start sewing something new just 2 days ago. Thanks .
