Oh my goodness. I hope the hounds lovers appreciate all the extra work you're doing and bid high!

A person really doesn't learn when the quilt goes together without a problem. We do learn when we have to fix the issues though! I learn something with every quilt I make -- like the BSR doesn't work unless it is actually plugged into the machine.

Don't think I have made a sewing project quilted or otherwise without such a "learning curve". Look forward to seeing this quilt...please post a pic for us.

I enjoy the finished product but the main reason I quilt is for the process of doing and learning and along the way I have had many oops moments. In fact, the next program at guild is on this subject. People are asked to bring in their oops as an illustration of what not to do and what they learned from it. There was no problem in getting examples from most members!

I had a similar experience with half square triangles that were thismuch to small and had to do them over.

Curious...what tute are you talking about?

Some days, it just doesn't pay to take the cover off your sewing machine.

Exactly what I was thinking, I'd cut a good half inch off the points and say I wanted it that way. Unless you have lots of fabric.

I'm sorry but I couldn't get past 'Basset Rescue'. I am a total Basset nut and have my name in the hat for a baby from a pound. Sure hope I get 'Maggie'. We have had a total of 9 Bassets in our lifetime, what wonderful dogs.

I would not worry about those points !
