I love math but hate ironing (and cutting, actually.) ;-p It must be the pretty fabrics and cozy end results...
|
Because you love art you love making quilts
|
its like with any hobby; there is a love hate relationship that goes on !LOL
|
I agree -- I hate to cut and I hate to press the seams -- but I love quilting!
|
I hate ironing too - the worse part of quilting. I have 10 tops ready to be backed. They are sitting there because I have to iron the backing and the tops!!!! My excuse the last few days is that it is too warm to iron!! (70 degrees!!).
|
I'm sure it is the artistic outlet that it provides that makes it worth it.

You don't "do math" - you simply figure out the size of pieces to cut from basic guidelines so you can have the perfect square. See, that was easy. |
Ok, I hate ironing clothes but I love to iron fabric! and math. . . I do everything in my power not to have to do it and I never, I repeat, NEVER do math in public!!!
I had to take an algebra class last year as part of my Gen Ed classes for my degree and I struggled, cried and pulled my hair out! But give me something quilt related, a pencil with a brand new eraser, a full tablet of paper and a calculator and I will figure it out. Priorities I guess!!!!! |
I dont like math or ironing either and when it comes to clothing repairs I take them to my quilting friend and she takes up and takes in for me I just give her one of my pathetic looks works ever time
|
sorry, but there are 140 of the big pinwheel blocks? Seems like that would be a huge quilt! pretty,but very ambitous.
but I'm not sure the why I like quilting either. Ironing and msth are not my favorites either. go figure :P |
