Though by the time I get to this spot I am often so frustrated by seams that don't nest perfectly and points that are off kilter that I just want to be done with the quilt fast so I can move on to the next one. I start each quilt with high expectations, I measure 2-3 times, double check everything, go super slow, yet still it seems I can't even master a straight line of stitching. On the good side, I don't have a large pile of UFO's because I won't let myself start another quilt until I finish what I'm working on.
