Oh those are good ones (the previous posts)
I would make more than 24 hours in a day - there never seems to be enough time to get as much quilting done as you want to!

If EVERY seam came out exactly 1/4" life would be perfect!!! LOL I am getting there.

I hate having to stop and square up blocks. What a waste of time but I know so important. But I still hate stoping to square up blocks

Leave me alone...let me create...I can clean later (any fool can clean, it takes a genius to create art!).
I whole heartedly agree with you. Once the project is done I have to clean before i can even think about another.

Too many patterns and not enough time to do them all.

I would eliminate inaccurate 1/4 inch seam allowances. TEE- HEE! Life would be so much easier as a quilter if all seams would magically be exactly 1/4 inch.

I agree with Jan, but I would love to be able to go into a quilt shop and always find just the right fabric when I need it
