Sometimes a little mistake can be a good thing.

I sewed the first horizontal seam of my new quilt. Went pretty quickly and looked pretty accurate – all good.

Then I looked at the time and thought, ok, I could sew one more seam before calling it a night. I sewed the next seam. Remember – this is my life, an inch and a half at a time. My modus is to snip about a foot of seamline (the little connecting threads between the two rows), match and pin the intersections, sew, unpinning as I go. Repeat.

I stop to admire the three rows sewn together with the two rows. Whoopsie – there’s an unsewn seam in there between two pairs of rows sewn together. Ummmmm… OK, I can fix that easily. Not really a problem needing fixing, but my little “error” got me four seams sewn together because I just had to sew that one seam that was flapping in the breeze. So far so good and it’s looking pretty darn good to me. I love when the squares become squares again.

Now off to bed with me.
