Didn't know we had rules... :)

It depends on what you mean by "RULES". I believe the following SHOULD NOT be broken:
1. Accurate marking and measuring
2. Accurate cutting
3. Accurate seams
4. Pressing for flat seams and blocks

These take much of the frustration out of quiltmaking.

I follow these, and break all the rest of the "rules".

Gee's Bend quilts pretty much break all of these rules.

I never knew about rules. I know I learned how to and techniques and tricks and tips and if it worked I used them....

I learn so much here. I even heard about the quilt police here lol. I would like to meet one of those lol...

You probably don't really want to meet one of those...
:lol:

I think we all set our own rules, don't we? We come up with 'our' rules by trial and error and what works best for us. I don't think of them as rules...it's more like 'methods'.

And the awesome thing to me is, the "different" things we show to each other are some of the more interesting tips and techniques I come across anywhere!

I'm guilty of using an ink pen to trace on fabric. :oops:

Touche :lol:
