When I started, there were few patterns for sale.I'd see a pic & try to work up my own pattern from the pic.Still enjoy do that & no, I don't worry about copyright laws.Mine aren't going to be judged & they stay in the family.
Pre washing is another rule that's ignored.
Aren't rules made to be broken?

I sew my binding on backwards, by machine (sew it to the back, then flip it to the front). I think it looks better. :-D

I am new to quilting so I am probably breaking most all the *rules*.

It is soooo nice to see so many renegades here. I feel so comfortable in your company and it pleases me to know that I fit right in with most of you.

What rules? Not the Quilt Police again! Use good work practice and let the pieces fall where they may. You will learn what works and what doesn't in practice.

I machine-bind...or at least I plan to. I don't pre-wash.

Well, I have not been given rules to obey but, I do follow directions on my projects. After I get the hang of it then, I do it my way which is probably easiest for me :)
