THIS was SCARIER than SCARY!!!

HORRIFIED is the best description I can give for what I just went through!!!

I had to mutilate…uh…I mean trim out the corners on these blocks!!!
Oh My Goodness what a STRESSFUL event!!

WHAT….IF…..I….DIDN'T….CUT….THEM….CORRECT??!!

I guess I will know the answer to that question when I pin and sew on these arcs.
I will be holding my breath!!

This cute little bird that is part of the top border for this quilt made me feel so happy and
helped me to calm down from the stress and horror of what
I just went through.

Who knew quilting could be so painful?!

HA!

"Just get over it" some of you say….. and "get on with it you wimp!!!"

I AM!

I AM!

    I have a girlfriend who used to call me to come over everytime she finished a quilt. I had to trim the excess away for her, she was so sure that she would ruin it at the last minute !

    We're states apart now, I guess SHE had to 'get over it'!

    I understand !

    I completely sympathize. I'd probably have to applique the corners on, rather than cut anything!

    I agree. I would be timid, too. But looks like you did great!

    I would have been scared to trim anything on that beautiful block. Your inset corners will make it pop more.

    I can sympathize with you. I have a big appliqué quilt I need to trim so I can add the borders and it just scares me to death. I hate to mess it up at this point.

    Oh I know the feeling all to well - the horror - the sweaty palms - the churning tummy - and then it comes out right and I'm happy again. Very pretty block.
