Retired teach, I know your pain. I had my sewing room all tidied up and then started working on 2 scrappy lap quilt for teens. Those darn trolls came in again and made such a mess. I finally decided to toss fabric that was too thin which means I bought that stuff decades ago when I started quilting and had no idea there was such a difference in quality of quilting fabric. I finished piecing one lap quilt but struggling with starting the second. Maybe a piece of chocolate will help. Wouldn't hurt, right?
