It really does seem to take a long time to get your fabric ready for constructing your blocks, etc. BUT.....it is definitely worth the time and effort. The WORST is constructing the quilt and finding out the the measurements, etc. are wrong. It's nice to know that when you sit down at the machine everything will go together as planned.
Another...."been there, done that" as a new/unexperienced quilter. NOT a good experience. |
I couldn't agree with your rules more. #5 is the best one for me. And always enjoy what you are doing.

I like the Humane Society idea - being both a newbie at this quilting stuff and an animal lover (if you could see all of my 'adopted 4-footed children'), you remind me that there is a place for practice pieces that won't be criticised too badly while I learn. Thanks :-)

I look forward to seeing them! |
Holice,
What are your favorite rulers for cutting and measuring? Diane |
I agree with 1-4....but for me is 5 the most important part....using creativity , imagination and enthusiasm...and have fun

I just learned the hard way, I cut and sewed 150 siggi blocks, and they were all 1/4 inch off. God bless. Penny

It's usually helpful to make one "test block" before making a bunch of them. Ask me how I know this . . . . |
