Next to the seam ripper, I think you can see the tear drops from your's truly. No - wait, I can get closer. . .
So then, I use my trusty, sharp seam ripper and redo the 1/2 square triangles - only to discover
The little squirvy (yes, it is a word - I just made it up) lines were going the wrong way. Compare to the laid out blocks of this photo. So, my trusty seam ripper got a lot of practice today. I spent more time ripping than sewing.
It was time to call it a day in the sewing studio. I did not want to tackle assembling the blocks until a 'better day'. Whatever that may mean.
My friend is coming to pick up her 'mug rugs' today. She called earlier and said she wanted a e-reader pocket also for another friend's birthday gift. That compensated for my morning in the studio.

About a million and a half. I hate those squirvy lines when they go the wrong way.

Oh, Marie, I have those days more often than I would like! That's when I have to get away from the sewing machine and do something else...like work on a puzzle maybe! :)
ReplyDeletesometimes we just have those days and you did the right thing putting it away for now.
ReplyDeleteI was having one of those days yesterday while trying to sew a border with bias edges. Lots of stretching going on, lots of seam rippering! Usually I pick out 3 times and then that's that. Sometimes we do just have to set things aside and come back to them.
ReplyDeleteThe seam ripper is my friend too! This is why I don't quilt :) Can't seem to sew straight or get corners lined up right.
ReplyDeletenow listen up...we have all done this far too many times...thank goodness for seam rippers...lol
