I feel your pain hon. Been there so many times and trust me, after 7 years I still have those days. Sometimes I think this is what made me more patient though, having to rip out. Things will get better. Give it a rest and get back in there. It can only get better right?

My sister said the first thing she learned to do well when I was teaching her to quilt was RIP IT. LOL. One thing I know from past experience is that you never change rulers when you start a project. That can make a big difference in the size of your squares. Hope today is a better day for you.

I feel bad for you. It is so frustrating sometimes. I have been there also. You learn somthing new with each and every project. Hang in there and I hope it is going lots better now or when you get back to it. Did you think of it a million times while you were trying to rest? It keeps me awake.

Thanks, everyone. I feel much better this morning. I just fixed the squares I cut wrong, and decided I was glad I had made them too large and not too small.
I can even see how I cut them wrong now.
What I had to rip out is also all fixed now, and I am on to new blocks. And I have learned how to make quarter triangle squares. That was new to me. So....learning and growing...that is what it is all about, right?
Sew on!
