    If you bleed on a quilt (or anything else) your own saliva will break up the blood. So spit on it immediately.

Then I would wonder why as I spent ages using the seam ripper nothing matched up. Mind you, all the undersized blocks and funny shaped triangles added enormously to my scrap pile
    Just have to say "Your kitty doesn't look too happy" LOL

    She is a very deep thinker. At the moment she is working out the yardage for our next quilt.

    To keep your seam ripper handy, tape a ballpoint pen cap to your sewing machine!

    My advise is only quilt when you're in the mood. If you try to rush then mistakes happen. Really enjoy your project from cutting to top quilting.
