Remember when i said a quilt is like a puzzle? Well, it is. Its like a geometric puzzle. some things work, and if you change the size of the peice, it doesnt work any more. I realise this after i had sewn a bunch of rectangle together diagonally from corner to corner. I was thinking I could open them up and they would be rectangles again, but they werent, they were long triangles instead. This is what happens when i try on my own, I learn new stuff. I still know what I want, and I can still get it, I just have to go about it a different way. So, most of the fabric I cut last week has to be recut. I am starting over, lesson learned.
Maybe i will just find a pattern and go with that. Tried and true, I am not a trail blaizer. that sounds so much easier right now. let me think on this one .......................................................................................................
Ok, i just sat here and thought for a while, I am getting out my pattern books. that is what they are for, finding patterns. I will let you know what i decide. If i am gong to cut fabric, i want it to be for a good reason. But all is not lost, I did learn a lesson, And I will remember this one.
