I wanted to make a quilt for my son. I thought it was going to be a simple quilt. I bought two different blues and was using the churn dash block to make it. I hand sew so I cut all my pieces out. I marked each piece 1/4 inch for the sew line and I started sewing. To this day I don't know what was wrong but my pieces werent sewing together right. I forced a lot of pieces together then my block was wonky. I then decided to trim them up and when I did that the big block sewing seams didn't match. I had spent a lot of money on the material and I just had to decide to sew it up, quilt and move on. I didn't give it to my son. It is on my bed and I named it the Blue BooBoo. I think it was my third or fourth quilt I made. I have to tell you all my quilts have something that isn't quite perfect and they never turn out the way I envisioned so there you are. I could never enter my quilts in a show but I am sewing because I like making those little stitches and sometimes something turns out that amazes me.
