Yes I have noticed that too! Why do you think that happens. I have gotten to where if I have scraps left over from scraps I toss them Unless it is at least 10x10 inches.

To be very, very patient with myself and my points!!!

Once again, sage advise from all! I have learned so much just even reading this topic.

I've learned that I can wrap clothesline with fabric and read the posts at the same time!

I've learned that in sewing a 4 patch block together, direction does matter.

Not sure if I said that right since I'm new to quilting. Basically, I was sewing alternating dark/light patches for each block. But when it came to sewing the blocks together, I quickly found out that not all the blocks lined up the same way. That's because I had stitched differently for each block so that they didn't all match. :oops:

Ditto

I find that if I take a photo of the blocks on the design wall I can see mistakes better than with the naked eye before they get sewn together.

Well Ladies, Over the short time that I have been quilting I have come to learn almost everything that has been quoted.

Actually I should have learned this, but did I? may not so good as I still keep making these same mistakes, particularly pressing on when I am tired :roll:

Maybe1day

Ditto!

I've learned that like toners the site to just take my time and enjoy the process. I also learned that people may not appreciate the time and effort of what goes into making a quilt so it's best to just let it go instead of dwelling on it.

I have learned that all of you matter, and all the help you give and all the kind words. you are all great. God bless.
