Just venting here about my crappy sewing day. My Downy quilt is all kinds of puckered on the back, new project...simple patchwork using a charm pack...none of the seams want to even up, another project was just tossed, because the fabric is too thin and cheap looking. Ugh...anyone else have days like this?

I ripped as many seams as I sewed today. And one Downy Quilt never got sent because it was Awful!!

Yes, some days are like that. I usually wait about a week
before trying again LOL!

Don't throw those ugly, puckery quilts away. Finish in as simple and quick manner as possible then give the quilt to someone with a doggie they adore. They will love you and so will the dog!

Yes, I have had those several times.
Tomorrow is another day!!!!

Thanks you guys. I really don't want to send the Downy quilt. It makes me feel better to know that even the "seasoned" quilters go through this!

I had a Downy quilt that just was a disaster - I ripped out every seam - redid the binding twice then finally finished. I didn't want to put my name on it. I never had as much trouble with any other project.

Make one from your stash to send and spend some time ripping the other one, May take me forever but someday I will rip mine apart, The fabric is to nice to waste.

We all have those kind of days. I think that i ripped out more stitches on some quilts than I kept but it made me so mad that I just had to finish it just because... I just put it aside and either work on something else, or wait a day or two and then it doesn't seem so bad. Slow and steady always wins the race!!!!
