This grandmother of the bride needs to take myself to the veil and do some pearling. I need quickly, however, to mention to Zimmy: (1) welcome and (2) maybe your beginning with triangles puzzle is simply how they are pictured in patterns. All too often, an illustration will show a point of a triangle all the way at the cut edge - when, in reality, it must float to still have a point when stitched to the next piece. Some one else can explain this better - but what I have in mind, for example - is a flying geese sort of triangle. The books and magazines usually show the piece as pointed. Confused me just no end when I was trying to figure out 'how does that work?'. Not just confused; also frustrated and pretty close to having a hissy fit. Polly
More Zimmy!

Polly, I am with you on the hissy fit, but what can I say. I think I mislead some on this board, I have not attempted triangles, still have issues with a
9 patch. I see quilts in quiltshops that are not perfect, seams are off, quilting is down right ugly, etc. Maybe I am a bit too hard on myself, I expect perfection, or something similar to.Zimmy
Well, Zimmy, you have the cure correct - even if the problems haven't quite arisen yet! . In message , Zimmy writes
