Neither do we Irish. Rules are only there to be ignored or got round!

I don't prewash and I use a dull cutter sometimes, on some things, like curved piecing I don't use a 1/4" seam allowance.

But, my stuff turns out good enough for me.

Are there rules for this ??? :)

Can call it art and get away with all sorts of stuff !!! ;)

Where is this darn list of rules so that I can follow them!!!. Rules I make my own as I go along.

Rules? I was supposed to follow some rules? Oh well.

Rules? Isn't that the thing you measure 12 inches with? Oh I use that all the time! LOL

I quilt with my shoes off. I constantly hear quilters warn about using the rotary cutter or ironing sans footwear, but I can't wear shoes!

I used to cut with the rotary blade towards me (easier to control). I was doing a demo in a guild class... almost gave 10 ladies heart attacks with 1 cut. I've since gotten out of that habit but purely because it's easier now to cut the "right" way.

I also sometimes iron my blocks instead of pressing... gasp!
