I strongly agree with this thought! Quilters are harder on themselves than anyone else. If it becomes a drudge, find something else to do. Life is TOO short!

I just had to comment on the galloping horse saying. My Mother used to say it to me when I was younger and would obsess over curtains not matching perfectly. That brought back a lot of good memories for me, Thanks

I have been teaching my granddaughters to quilt and they do not have a clue that they are learning fractions when they are measuring and cutting. I always make sure they use the automatic close rotary cutter. Love all of the tips.
