At least you were aware of the steps In quilting, Me not so much. My first quilt bk in 2000 with my new Husq Lily was patchwk with every type of fabric you can imagine cut into 5 inch sqs w/scissors (who knew what a rotary cutter or cotton fabric was). My seams were every size you can imagine due to not cutting an exact 5 inch sq. Batting what's batting. I pieced strips of linen and cotton together for a bk and sewed it together, leaving a opening to turn inside out and I had a quilt.,,,
I recently pulled the bking off of it to do it right. I guess some might say threw it out but it was my first no matter how the top was put together and now I can make adjustments and remind myself how far I've come.
