Love your answers! I didn't know there were so many sins available. :lol: I never measure my borders because that is my technique. I think it works better than to try to force a piece to fit and as long as it is square and the the dimensions are equal I am fine with that. My big crime is not securing my machine quilting threads as I should. Just snip them off and get it over with. I agree about the labels fully - even though I need to do a few more.
I have seen a lot of comments about picnic quilts. It seems to me that during the 1800's ladies used their fine quilts and picnic table service as a means of presenting their finery for the occasion. They would never dream of using a ratty old quilt with plastic and paper. They even dressed up properly. Quilts on the ground may be what is left of an old tradition.
