    Default Jinxed quilt

    I am making matching lap quilts for my boys. And I sewed about 50 blocks backwards . So it took me days to un do it and sew them right way. Now I am ironing them and I keep burning myself. I think this quilt is jinxed lol.

    LOL! Not jinxed, you're just busy. Take a deep breath and move on. I hope you will post pics when you are done.

    I am so sorry about your burns. Be careful. As for sewing the 50 blocks backwards, I feel your pain. Last week I had to rip out 62 blocks and re sew them. Fortunately, I had a new seam ripper. The good news is that I got the top to the LAQ today. Hang in there. I am sure things will get better.

    sometimes, I just leave them!!! unless the wrong side was up. otherwise, it is just a unique quilt.

    ​Some quilts are a dream and some a nightmare. Good luck whipping it into shape.

    For me, when too many things go wrong... I stop. Take a break. Come back to it when I'm rested (mentally and physically). Sometimes that takes days/weeks/months
