I have learned that what I think is easy is hard for someone else. This to say, that most of my backs are the leftovers + some other yardage. That rarely do I plan borders ahead, it's back to the stash to find something that will work, surely there's something in the thousands of yards of fabric I already have. Cutting something wrong is usually an opportunity to try something new-get creative. Now, on the other hand, I'll never learn Spanish even after working with it for 14 yrs, nope, never happen, still need an interpreter.
