It's the little things...

Oh, I have difficulties with small projects too. Sometimes the smaller pieces are hard for me to handle and they get wonky. I don't worry about it. If it were a project for a show, I might be more concerned. But I don't do that.

I'll have to try the birthing method again.
Haven't done that in a while.
There is one that uses folded fabric that turns into a checkerboard or four patch looking deal. That one is quick as lightning and usually turns out okay if the batting isn't overdone.

I was so just there, decided to make coasters and fabric boxes to put them in them for gifts, got everything cut and ready and thought I'd be done with them long before Thanksgiving, oh goodness, they took forever to get right. I ended up doing the self-binding on them and it worked out much better than struggling with separate binding. Corners will always be fiddly for me but I managed to make them all look presentable. Now my walking foot isn't working so I guess I can take a quilt break until I get another one. shucks

I made eight Christmas mug rugs and though they weren't perfect in my opinion, I told myself it was good practice for FMQ and to improve my machine binding technique... The recipients were sent chocolate and a personal card with their mug rug... so hopefully they weren't too critical of my work.
