I've had a heck of a time with a paper-pieced block. If it wasn't one thing, than today has been another. I have a stack of fabric lined up to cut into more manageable sizes. :thumbup: I make my cut and to my dismay I have severed the tops off of some of the pieces that were already sewn. :thumbdown:

I'm grumbling now, but at least I know I have enough fabric to fix the decapitated part. Maybe a break is in order now. No, I will go pet my cat.

Oh that just stinks tonnie. Good thing you have extra fabric. Pet your kitty for me.

Ok put the cutter down before you go pet your cat. :mrgreen:

I hate when that happens!! I don't paper piece but have done similar with rotary cutter.

You need a break. I'm sure it is fixable.

Been there and done that.

ugh. i was there last night. tried to paper piece the same thing three times and made three different mistakes - decided it must be time for bed. Have been gardening, paying bills and doing groceries / laundry all day and now am clean and ready to try again!

Night (not early evening) is never a good time for me to do anything that needs careful attention. I have a plaque that says "When all else fails, pet the cat." Is that what you were doing?

I was gonna say you should stay away from the cat!
