Ever had the kind of day, you are not sure whether to throw your machine or the quilt you are working on out of a window? Thats the kind of day I am having. I had QAYG my blocks as I wanted circles, I then added borders and it has lain for a few weeks until I got a backing I liked. Paid a fortune for backing as I picked a batik. My front looks crumpled, my machine has thrown a fouple of wobblies and I'm feeling frazzled. I can't put it aside as a UFO as it would annoy me, so I'm having a break and will go back to it tomorrow. As Scarlett said, 'tomorrow is another day' .

I am so sorry for you. I hope it comes together and don't give up.

Hang in there! You can get this done. :-) Everyone has a bad day, but as you said, give it another go tomorrow and you may find everything goes in your favor.

my sympathies to you .... prayers that your frustration turns into pride as you take a breather .....
We all have those days.

Yes, I am sure all of us who have quilted for a long while have had days like that. I know I sure have and I just have to walk away for awhile. You will be able to finish it when you have had time to settle down a little and look at it with fresh eyes.

A good night's sleep does wonders. I have had times like that, and I know it's not any fun, but keep with it, and when it's finished you will have a great feeling of satisfaction.

My favorite saying to my type A daughter is "remember to breathe, it will all work out!"

Last year I made a quilt that seemed to be jinxed. It seemed like every time I started working on it I found something that needed to be ripped out and redone. I just couldn't get with the program on this one but after a couple of months of starting and stopping I finally finished it and it turned out to be the prettiest quilt I have ever made. Just hang in there and it will get better. May yours also turn out to be your best ever quilt.

Wouldn't you just love to throw a temper tantrum !! Been there....and occasionally have DONE that. Here's hoping that once you feel more relaxed, things will go MUCH better.

Sometimes there are days that require chocolate... or something stronger! I have been where you are.
