Has anyone gotten so frustrated wanted to quit, give up the craft of quilting, how long did you stop, and what were the results of your actions?
what were the end results?
Just a newbes thoughts here.

Hmmmmm....I have wanted to quit working on a specific project, but not quilting altogether. I have many interests, and usually what I do is "work on something else" for awhile.
If it seems like you're beating your head against the wall about something, maybe we can help! :D

oh yes I guess I am! binding for one and getting the squares/triangles exact, I thought I was cutting them out exact, but I still am off on some of them. I also am using a rotor cutter as well, measuring with templates and so on, but I am not still getting the right measurements! Mary

The way I get my triangles exact is to cut the square at least a half inch larger than the pattern calls for. Once I have the triangle sewed together than I square it the size it should be.
