That old saying doesn't always work. Sometimes I count 3 times and still manage to mess up. Grrrrrr!

How well I know your pain!

Tough day? I hope you are relaxing now and that tomorrow will go much better (smile).

OH bummer Valsma..not a good thing to do..crafty_linda_b

been there!

Is your local quilt shop close? Laughing and crying with you.

I am in the same boat!!!!

That's why some historic quilter invented 'crazy' patches. :P

Is there a particular fabric that you need to finish the job?

Oh yeah...been there...done that...got the T-shirt!

been there and done that too!

It ain't easy being human! I feel your pain.

same here - sometimes my brain tells me it's wrong, but I keep cutting.

Been there, done that, way to many times..

I have decided to add "Think correctly" in there first - because I had a recent project which was measured twice, cut once, sewed properly - only to realize that I couldn't salvage it because I'd screwed up my mental calculations and had the wrong dimensions to cut. :(

There's so many ways to make mistakes in quilting and I have apparently dedicated my life to discovering all of them.

:shock: :D :thumbup:

I hear you...but, that usually only happens when using stash, have JUST enough fabric(because we know you can't find it any more) and have one or two rows left to complete on a queen size...OMG do I hear you!!!

time for a cuppa tea, a stretch break and try it tomorrow. I find this only happens on the most unusual hard to find, replace, duplicate fabrics! never happens on the ones that you have extras of or possible stand ins!

What is really frustrating is when you measure several times, then cut, an THEN discover the pattern had the wrong dimensions!

I do the same with my quilting as well as my Cabineting.(My full time job).

Sounds like you are pretty normal to me! We all do it.

Just last week! Fortunately I had plenty of fabric to re-cut.

Same boat here too-oval Bassinets are a royal pain in the buttocks -Grrrr

I have been there, and done that several times also. When things start happening like that I just back away and take a break.

As we all know very well!!!

Sorry to here that, but know your pain.

Sorry you had a problem, but glad to hear I'm not the only one that has had that same issue.

Been there, done that! I too have measured 3 or more times and still cut wrong!

That was my grandmother's favorite saying--and I repeat it often, myself. piecefully, the old one

Exactly what happen here!

I think I've paid for my Accuquilt Go in saving fabric from my cutting mistakes. I use to have to buy extra fabric just for my cutting errors.

This is what I've done all too often. Urrrrr.

I happen to have a wonderful DH who encourages me. He cuts strips for me and helps with measurements.

No, but thank you for asking. I am learning real fast to always buy a little extra. I have enough to do what i'm doing. It is just very frustrating to know you measured, measured again, sometimes even again and still not know how you managed to cut it wrong anyways.

Yes. Actually just a little over a mile down the road.

Did you every notice just after a mis- cut we realize the errror?? Just seconds too late:(

That old saying doesn't always work - for sure!

The last time I said that out loud just before cutting, I cut on the wrong side of the ruler!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy was I mad at myself!!!! That quilt is STILL a UFO.

That is when it is time to walk away, make lunch, have a large glass of wine....watch a soap....then go back...with fresh eyes and a better attitude

I do things like that all the time and it drives my husband crazy. Sometimes I think I have some unknown learning disorder.
Just remember you are never the only one.
