I was feeling like a big dummy when I spent 3 hours on one block the other night. Funny thing was, it was the third of its kind--the first 2 were easy. Same pattern, fabric, everything . Then I went to my quilting class and the teacher was telling us about a quilt she's doing for the shop. SHE said (I kid you not), "I spent THREE HOURS on one block last night and it wasn't even the first one like it. I had done like six already and couldn't get that next block right to save my life!"
I have learned to keep telling myself, "I'm only human. This is just part of the learning curve." Let's just say that I am a VERY curvy girl. LOL!
