    I love to make rag wreaths to decorate my door seasonally.

    I use them instead of fiber fill in pillows.

    I have a Chi. It does not have an auto-shut off, which I hate- but if you are looking for that, otherwise great iron.

    Y seams allow more creativity in how to put things together. They aren't that difficult.

    But if you don't like them, there are usually ways to work around them. Just be creative, grid it all out,...

    I think you could make a beautiful quilt with half of a lone-star!

    I would probably applique it, rather than try to piece it to a larger quilt.

    I don't think it can be "fixed" the way you want it to be, so I'd stop trying.
    However, if you hadn't taken it apart, I don't think it needed to be fixed. It is a pretty typical top for a beginner,...

    The whole reason quilt stores make samples is so people copy them!

    Having samples out sells a lot more fabric (because people want to make the same quilt) than just having the patterns out.
