Well sweetie, if I come over and slap you, you'd have to slap me back, because I've done that on more than one occasion. Don't feel bad about the right side/wrong side of batiks, I have in my possession - honest - at least 1 or 2 batiks that do have a right and a wrong side. When I have days like that, I put the project away and either walk away from the sewing machine, OR do a totally different project. Despite being extremely careful, I thought, I managed to get a huge fold in the backing when I was sandwiching this year's family reunion quilt and was on a deadline. To say I was upset about this stupid mistake would be mild. We all have days like that, then there are other days when the sewing goddess/fairy makes everything go smoothly. Here's to smoother sewing days!!

Hysterical! I'm new to this site and I've sure enjoyed the message boards. This one struck me as particularly funny. It sounds exactly like something I'd do. I'm a newbie, barely into my first quilt. I think I've managed to mess up pretty much anything mess-up-able tho eventually victory reigns. No clever tricks up my sleeve so I'm no help but I sure enjoyed the laugh. Thanks for helping me feel so not alone!

Hi all, I'm new to the site and this post is hilarious! (I thinks its a misery loves company thing). I'm just now piecing my first quilt. . . .self-taught. I don't quite know how I've survived myself and some of the THINGS I've done on this project. The best laid plans ....at least I know I'm not alone. Thanks for the laugh, I'm so sorry but I needed it!

It took me a while to get the hang of this but finally have it in my mind. My most difficult time is sewing that last seam after the strip is sewed to the quilt. I have to pin it and open it to make sure it is the right way every time or I do it wrong.
