How Often Do You Make Mistakes?

I had to realize that ripping is part of the whole sewing experience. When I was young, let's not discuss how many years ago, and took Home-Ec (oops, just aged myself), I thought ripping out my seams meant I failed.
Now, I just think it's part of the plan. Unfortunately, I tend to do something the wrong way, rip it out, then do it right!

I just took creative licensing with my borders for my finished top. I planned on doing two borders picture frame style and ding dong me thought if try and make it a bit easier. Well when I got the long sides on I went duuuuh and now instead of picture frame borders I have a plaid style border which looks better than my original plan anyways. Lol.
One day I'll learn how to do pictures so show y'all.

It depends on what you consider a "mistake". If it is a tiny "whoops", probably an average of 10 per quilt. If it is an "OH NO!" (w/o tears) then more like 5 per quilt. If it is an "OH NO!" with tears, then only a couple per quilt. If it is a real mess that requires my sweetie to come into my sewing room, calm me down, help me figure out what to do now, then only once every 2 or 3 quilts. When you ask a question like this you need to define your terms more exactly! Mistakes are why appliques exist!
