If I ate chocolate and drank wine everytime I needed my ripper I'd be a 500lb wino. ;)

Sorry I know how you feel. I about wore my seam ripper out on one of my Boo Boo's. Hugs and chocolate.

I once cut the short pieces of sashing before I assembled the blocks because I knew how long they were suppose to be. When I went to attack them to the blocks they were all too short. I had calculated on 1/2" seams but I actually sewed the blocks together using 1/4" seams. the fabric was some I had ordered on line so I had to order more and wait for it to come. I was glad it was reorderable and not some sale remnant fabric. I am now making coasters out of the too short strips.

I think over time most of us will have a story like this. I made blocks for a quilt and when I finished I had 11 instead of 12. No more material. So, I did a block with the word LOVE on it and put it prominently in the middle. They think it is a design element.

Then I donated the quilt so it would get a good home and not bug me.

Lots of chocolate (and your favorite bottle of wine) being sent via ether air waves (very fast delivery) to you. Nothing worse than thinking you are nearly done with a quilt only to discover you still have major work ahead.

Hang in there!!

Oh good. I thought I was the only one who did things like this. I've been badder than you though - instead of ripping on one quilt, I added strips to the sides of my last row and pretended it was the pillow sham!!! Still dug into the chockys though!!

Been there, done that. More times than I care to admit. Eat the chocolate, drink the wine and get out the seam ripper!

How about a jug of Bailey's? That's chocolatey and will also sooth the nerves! Then you will be relaxed as you RIP!!
Good luck!

OOohhhh, don't believe even chocolate would make me feel better. I believe this would be one of my Margarita moments! LOL

I ate a chocolate bar in sympathy for you. :)
