One of my first quilts was a queen and I wanted a subtle change in blues. I chose the churn dash pattern and I cut my pieces out with a template that I had made myself from the pattern in the book. I don't know what happened but the pieces did not sew together correctly. I marked my seams ( I sew by hand). I checked and rechecked and the pieces looked like the right size but did not sew up correctly. I forced them together and because the were out of kilter I trimmed them up to twelve inches and sewed those blocks together. I did not realize that the seams would not match. I finished it, washed it and put it on my bed and I tagged it "The Blue BooBoo". I spent a lot of money on it and I have been using until this year. I made a new one that only has a few boo boo's.
