The three youngest of my kids are back to school and so I made some time for quilting. Yay! Time to get some quilt tops finished up and checked off the list. The first one on the list went nice and easy.
 |
| Ta da! Completed quilt top! |
Until... Oh no! Do you see what I see? Two identical connecting squares framing the block in the very center of the quilt! Which. Would. Drive. Me. Crazy.
 |
Why does this always happen to me?
I checked a bazillion times!!!!! |
I didn't even hesitate. Too many years of experience to think that I could live and let live with something like this. I had the square ripped out and put back in place in less than 15 minutes.
 |
| That square is actually my dirty carpet.... |
Some things I let slide and allow myself to be amused at forever. Other things you just know will always be an irritation. Like a sliver under your skin. It's actually a good thing to learn about yourself.*wink
 |
| And now it really is done! |
So... problem fixed and now this quilt has been documented as a true blue finish. Of course I'm not ready to start the quilting on it, so it gets to be folded up and put into my drawers of completed quilt tops with all the others for now.
 |
| Just because something needed to go right.... |
Then I went ahead and cut out my binding fabric, pieced it, ironed it and then sewed it onto this little table runner. (I think the busy fabric will look excellent once it's folded over and hand sewn.) After the big 'fix-it' early in the day, I needed to end on a better note!
