don't you just hate it when you spend hours cutting out the exact number of blocks you need and then sew them together and find you are one block short so you spend hours searching everywhere because you know you cut out enough and then discover you actually sewed two together as one

doncha hate it when you just want to trim that one block real quick and afterwards you realize that you had it laying on top of another piece which now has a hole in it (or a corner missing)?

Or when you sew a block together and discover you put the wrong side on the top - take it out and finish it then discover it wasn't the top at all but the center panel ends put on backwards. 3rd time was the charm. So many of these I have done. Soooo glad we are not alone!!!!!!!!!

My worst was when my dog was a puppy. I was chain sewing little nine patches together. My aunt had cut these squares for me when I was eight and I carried them with me through all our moves, children, etc. So I'm chain sewing these vintage squares of fabric in a long line, only to find when I'm done that the puppy was under the sewing table chewing on the squares as they came down...
The dog actually made it to grow up! And now it only eats little snippets of fabric from the floor. |
or when you know fully well to cut the fabric 2.5 inches and you cut it 2.25 and then wonder why things are not fitting together.
