Fiddles & Fudge
I'm realizing that sometimes I have to fiddle and fudge to get to the finish line. My current quilt project was supposed to be quick and easy quilt in the hoop.
It's been a fiddle to get each hooping just right. Now I'm in the avoidance mode...anything else but the quilt.
So do you wing it? Fiddle or fudge?

I was in a hurry to finish a quilt for my DD for a birthday present for her lovely neighbor. A floral pretty throw quilt. The borders were so wavy I took them off twice and nothing was working. Lots of bias edges in the piecing. I left the borders off, machine quilted the quilt and then sewed on a row of ruffles made from the border fabric. The quilt looked great. The borders wanted to ripple so I let them. LOL

I have a Bargello UFO for this very reason ... only I fiddled and fudged to the point I had to take a lot of it apart. Not good. A little fudging is okay. I doubt too many of us start out with "perfect" skills. And like OneOnOne stated, sometimes we just have to come up with a new plan.
