    Default Musings on Murphy's Laws of Quilting

    Been working on a quilt with lots of points to match. Why is it that the points are always perfect when you've sewn the block in upside down? One of Murphy's Laws, I guess. What other laws of quilting have you run into?

    If you love a fabric, and need more, it is nowhere to be found. If you see a fabric you hate and would never use, you will receive a bolt of it for Christmas.

    If it is liquid and within 10 feet of the WIP you will spill it!

    If you can't find something, it will turn up as soon as you buy another one...

    Anything dropped on the floor will roll to the farthermost location. (or bounce!)

    I agree with ALL the posts but the one that applies to my quilting is Sandygirl's post. I put fabric away and then I CAN'T FIND IT when I NEED IT !!

    A NEW rotary blade is strongly attracted to the ruler!

    When you need to go to your back-up machine, something will need to be fiddled with before it sews like it should. (I think this is because it's feelings are hurt that you no longer use it every day.)

    If you make a UFO list to turn into the Guild for the UFO challenge, immediately after you send it in, you discover another 5 or 6 projects that you forgot about and the list can't be changed. And naturally, those are the ones you want to work on.
