Yes, you are just up the road!!! I have a very good friend and former room mate in Conroe, I do visit her ever so often. I do shop at the Woodlands sometimes and there is a quilt shop that I can never remember the name of. This is almost like "hello neighbor."

You said you cut the fabric wrong. Do you mean that you cut it in the wrong direction? Like with or against the grain? Which ever, I don't know why you can't use it either way. Don't we all make big mistakes? My mother, (bless her) was a quilter, and so would always tell me that the only one that walked this earth, that could make a prefect quilt, was Jesus himself. Makes me feel good when I mess up!! And I do it plenty. Good luck!!!!

:oops: I am officially getting in line for a healthy dose of ass-wuppin with the stupid stick today. I actually made one of those (beat head against wall) novice mistakes AND I KNEW BETTER. grrrr
Ripped strips of fabric for alternating between the scrap strips and instead of measuring all the components and cutting to size - like a fool, I sewed on the strips ladida. NOW the sections don't fit together and I have to rip all those 72 1/2" strips and start over.
Before, I would have kicked myself - now I'm waiting for the beatin. :twisted:
