Square up fabric before cutting.
One more ....sometimes its just not a quilting day, and step away from the machine.

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:

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

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.
