Oh, I have another good one.
On my last quilt, I measured and remeasured my qty of fabric for my border, calculating the widest possible border using all my fabric. I came up with a 3" border, not very happy, but it would have to do. After cutting everything, I had more than half my fabric left. I could have made my border much wider than I did, I don't know what I did wrong :(

The worst thing I did was sew a block together wrong. Not too bad you might think. Just take it apart and resew it, right? Well it's a little more difficult, when you don't notice until the quilt is already quilted and ready for the binding. My mom's quilt still has the error in it to this day. She's never said anything. So I don't think she's even noticed. But it's pretty obvious, if you look at it. :lol: :lol: :lol:
