Frustrating Day of Quilting
I know that I am not the only one who has done this but it sure is frustrating. I sew a section of my quilt back, which I decided to spruce up and piece it. I sew the length of the quilt incorrectly TWICE! All those little pieces of thread. That took me a couple of hours to get straight. After my piecing of the main section was finally finished, I started to trim up the piece in order to get ready for some borders. I thought all was going well until I realized that the distances from the pieced section to the outer edge (top) of the back are different than the other end. So frustrated. I have decided (since I already trimmed the extra fabric) that I will leave it as it is. It is the back so it should be okay, right? Please say, "Yes!" There are no quilt police at my door so I guess I am okay. So, so frustrated. Need to pull myself together and finish this back and get the quilt quilted. Thanks for listening. Tomorrow is another day!

So sorry! Yes. I've been there, but doesn't make it easier for you! After this horrendous day, tomorrow is usually 10 times better! :o
|
Everything sounds okay to me. Sounds like you are tired. After a good night's sleep, everything will look groovy and good!
|
Sound like a good reason to relax with a glass of wine or some very good chocolate to take your mind away from it! Tomorrow is another day and things will go better.
|
I will often put a block or two on the back of my quilts and I don't always make sure everything is equidistance from each edge. That is my creative license!!!
|
My day is the same. Cut the borders 4 equal pieces! Duh!!!! Now have to use cornerstones.
|
After fighting with FMQing a large quilt on a DSM I could not wait to be done, except one corner of the quilt got flipped under and double quilted. No wander my machine was squealing (and so was I).
|
I know the feeling quite well, having had issues with 9-patches recently. Your best bet is to back away from the machine for a while...give yourself a break. Tomorrow is another day - I'm sure that you will look at it and wonder why you had any problems at all. Good Luck!

Call it modern and pretend you planned it that way.
