I was happily making a Farmer's Wife Block - I've made about 30 of them. Got everything cut, made the half square triangles - half of them wrong sides together, of course - and .. the pieces don't fit. They're supposed to fit. seriously. Somehow I cut some rectangles short. I put it all in time out, closed the door, and came to join you all here. Enough.

How many times can you sew a corner of a quilt onto some other piece of it when you're quilting on a domestic machine? Is there a limit and then you won't do it anymore? Please?

Ummmm I give up how many?? Oh not a quizz! If it's me then the answer is infinite. I can do just that for hours at a time. Keeps the rest of the family amused listening to me yell at the fabric. Like it's to blame.

Isn't it wonderful to know we're in such good company? I do find that when I start breaking these commandments, I might as well shut it down for the night. Hard to break just one!

Oh dear, oh dear. :cry:
I assume this means none of us will be going to quilters Heaven as would be the case with the original broken Commandments issues.

Repent, Quilters! The End is near! :shock:

Thou shalt not sew late, late, late at night, especially in poor lighting conditions. Every time I do this, I look at the work I did the night before and wonder "what was I thinking, when I did this".
