    ceannastahr, I totally understand what you are saying here. My first PP project got put in a bag and I swore I'd never touch it again! My niece took me in hand though and encouraged me to try it again. So back I went for another battle and I finally won. That was my "Frog Pond" project. I totally enjoy PP now but I have also learned how to rip seams with very, very teeny tiny small stitches!
    Patrice, Thank you for your sweet words. I'm going to share a block that will make your day! Sure didn't make mine! Y-seams are not nice! I'm not even going to deal with that cabbage rose!!!! No way! No how!! :lol:

    Measures 6 " square, kinda!

    just what i needed!!!!! makes me wish i'd picked up a carton of raspberry sherbert today instead of chocolate moosetracks.

    something to get the q-juices flowing after a day at the office and the line for groceries.

    thank you very much. :-)

    Yvonne that is very colorful and I do like your points. Maybe I will try again sooner then antisapated. I do need to get pp down good. I have a pattern that I want to do but its pp So I just stare at it alot saying someday.

    Its a double wedding ring with star burst in it. When I first started quilting my Aunt bought it and told me it was my goal.

    Just curious Ceanna......does she have an example of the pattern to inspire you and maybe make it less daunting? .....ok nix that..got picture....saw the quilt ...!! She may have some encouragement to give in how she attained the goal herself...how better to be inspired than by one who brings us in to this wonderful world of quilting?She has to have something to say about how she got there! Make her give it up! After all, it is a beautiful goal to work towards, and there is no way she got there overnight...at least I hope not....I couldn't bare (bear ? oh Fudd....take )that.
