I once made a quilt I didn't like. I spent a year puttering with the blocks. Miss cut and ended up with way too many blocks. When I took it to my long armer she picked up on it. She did a wonderful job of quilting it. I ended up making a king size for my bed with the extra blocks and eventually the rest went into a little quilt for my grand daughter. My long armer really did make a silk purse out of a sows ear!
