same here - sometimes my brain tells me it's wrong, but I keep cutting.

I have decided to add "Think correctly" in there first - because I had a recent project which was measured twice, cut once, sewed properly - only to realize that I couldn't salvage it because I'd screwed up my mental calculations and had the wrong dimensions to cut. :(

There's so many ways to make mistakes in quilting and I have apparently dedicated my life to discovering all of them.

I hear you...but, that usually only happens when using stash, have JUST enough fabric(because we know you can't find it any more) and have one or two rows left to complete on a queen size...OMG do I hear you!!!

time for a cuppa tea, a stretch break and try it tomorrow. I find this only happens on the most unusual hard to find, replace, duplicate fabrics! never happens on the ones that you have extras of or possible stand ins!
