When to take a break
#23
Oh, I hate that! When I get on such a roll to finish and I think everything is going smoothly! One of two things happens when it's break time... I either make a mistake sewing (similar to yours) or cutting, or the bobbin runs out, then I replace it, then I spot a mistake... Actually, generally if that happens, I cleanup and put it away for the night. Beautiful quilt!

I was trying to finish something up this AM - it's a pattern on point, and on one smaller end I put on the two edge triangles - and realized I'd put them on the wrong way.
I figured I'd rip them and set it aside as I was out of time (really should have set them aside at that point)
So I ripped them off, and realize on one I'd ripped the triangle from the sashing, and on the other I'd ripped the triangle/sashing and from the next block. It's bad enough to sew something wrong, but then to rip wrong also?

Sometimes I try to finish a quilt and then wind up making a mistake that I have to "unsew". I know it's hard sometimes to know when to take a break, however, when I start making little mistakes, it's time for a break. Beautiful quilt, it's going to be so awesome when completed.
