Have you ever cut out all the pieces for a quilt, sewn all the strips together, cut them all apart and then enjoyed the view for a couple of days thinking of what it will look like when completed??????
Well, me too BUT..................................
Am making a surprise Double Irish Chain (I know pretty boring) for DH. He's only asked me for about the last 10 years to make him one. So did everything I needed to do and decided since it was a crappy, cold, snowy (yeah snowy) day in Missouri, figured I'd get started while watching the ballgame.
So line everything up next to the machine. Take the first 2 pieces and sew them together. Wanted to make sure the seams lined up before I went much farther. Took them out and opened them and just stared for a minute.
DUH!!!! and a few ^%$^*%(^& on top of that. Realized that I sewed the wrong strips together in the beginning for the second row of the chain.
I could just scream but don't want to scare the QI's. Yes, I have enough fabric to make more but now I just want to throw it all in the corner and run as fast as I can in the other direction.
