As for seams, well, I blame it on sun spots when feasible, I got a good 1/4" foot, and just do my best that still lets me have fun and enjoy every second. Quilting isn't supposed to be a stress, right? Have a nice weekend!Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205014519400117060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-7430825441889437602008-08-23T02:28:00.000-05:002008-08-23T02:28:00.000-05:00la la la, fingers in my ears.

I hope you find a solution.<BR/><BR/>I always fold my towels the same way so they can go turquoise then royal blue in stripes in the airing cupboard with no folds showing on the edge showing. But fear not the rest of the house is a chaotic mess at the moment while floor sanding is going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-48960058118935600212008-08-22T18:06:00.000-05:002008-08-22T18:06:00.000-05:00I'm with Nanette on this matchy, matchy stuff. I ...I'm with Nanette on this matchy, matchy stuff. I don't square off, I sometime 'stretch gently, gather and fudge' a whole lot. If, and I do mean "IF", it is a part that stands out and shouts "Look at me I'm crooked" I may use the seam ripper and try to hush it up a bit so that there's only a whisper, "I'm still a bit wonky". LOL :c)<BR/><BR/> But all in all I love old homey quilts., rag quilts, and scrap quilts, so I'm not too fussed with a few errors. As long as I like them and the people I make them for like them then that's all that matters.<BR/><BR/>As far as the towels go, I had 5 kids and could never keep a linen closet tidy. It always looked as if a bomb went off in there. Now that there's just the two of us, it's a 'feel good thing' to open up the linen closet and be able to put my hand on a bath sheet or a hand towel. So there, a little bit crazy but that's just me.<BR/><BR/>Love your quilt top and I absolutely adore those fabrics. Hopefully I will be lucky enough to find my own, next week.<BR/><BR/>~~ Fran ...:c)Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860768880463962562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041588012248537691.post-91186892952164071852008-08-22T16:57:00.000-05:002008-08-22T16:57:00.000-05:00Your fabrics are wonderful.

So ...I will tell you I'm not a very precise sewer. So I do have this issue myself but I don't square blocks. It just seams (no pun) that when I square up blocks I am trading one problem for another. I try to just give a little around the mistakes. Even when I try so hard to be precise I still have an issue somewhere if it is a larger block like yours, especially those with points. Every quilter deals iwth this in one way or another but I don't deal with it really, I just keep on going and let the mistakes be damned. Quilting to me is not a perfect science since I am not perfect. And thats my story and I'm sticking to it. And while we're on the subject of folding, I fold the towels in 4s and put them in the drawer/closet without even thinking about it. Its the 8 kids thing. It knocked all my edges off. Somedays I think "what was I thinking???" If I reread this I'll delete it so here it goes.Nanette Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.com
