I have been quilting for 30+ years and still have patterns that stump me and try my patience. I think that it is time to put that project aside and tackle it again when your patience isn't as stretched out as it is now. I have had a quilt or two that I put aside and then gave away because I did not want to face it again. One I remember.....I put this 'simple' quilt together two times and could not get it right. I tooks the quite blocks apart and donated them to a quilt shop where volunteer make charity quilts. Guess what......THEY COULDN'T GET IT TOGETHER RIGHT EITHER.
