Last night I sewed nine blocks that should have measured 8.5 when finished, but they are a little short, so I'm ripping today too. I was using the angler 2 as my seam guide and the test block measured exactly, so I need to discover what I'm going wrong. You know misery loves company, so I glad to hear I'm not alone

I have an exacto knife that I use for large situations. It's a smaller size but any will do!

It turned out great!! I hate doing all that ripping too. I just had a project where I think I ripped out more stitches than I made (wait-that's not possible, is it?)

rippit, rippit, rippit, froging. I like that. yes, we all do it., but just wanted you all to see, that they can turn out A-okay. I soooo had fun making this quilt.
wait till you all see this next one I am doing. the niece wanted brown and yellow, and I just wasn't feeling creative. so samo, samo, I felt like doing a tumbling block quilt again, quick get it done, and am/was not happy with it, but I am going to finish it, and it is going to be what it is. done!!!

Yes! Just last weekend. I am trying to use the wedge ruler to make a border. Wathced the tutorial several times and thought I had it. Was so pleases at how well the first section went together until i picked it up and saw that when I sewes it t the quilt I would lose every single point. I cheated-had extra fabric so began again. There's supposed to be a 1/4" overhang on the points of the colored wedges and I recessed the 1/4" instead-duh...blonde...
