I'll rip once then if it doesn't work I will start over. When making half square triangles I ALWAYS make them larger, then square them up afterwards.

If it's a completed quilt top and I'm messing up the quilting, I'll rip it out a million times. A block? 3's my limit. If I'm further into the project, I'm a little more likely to rip it out more times, but if it's the begining and giving me such a hard time, it goes in the scrap bin! I need my sanity, after all. :)Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044678341674369457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-4216106096278233302010-08-12T20:48:10.269-05:002010-08-12T20:48:10.269-05:00I love your color happy blog.I invite you to visit...I love your color happy blog.I invite you to visit my blog, and maybe you can tell me what you think ;-)<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />-SamyaSammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293829381066541911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-75769336191694187492010-08-12T20:33:37.813-05:002010-08-12T20:33:37.813-05:00Once or twice then i walk away and save it for ano...Once or twice then i walk away and save it for another day.A Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622172290214055802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-59617929912181772812010-08-12T20:04:36.019-05:002010-08-12T20:04:36.019-05:00I don't know how many times I would start over...I don't know how many times I would start over...I am usually a fudger...like if it's not quite 1/4" I take that into consideration on the next seam.

Most of the time I have more fabric than time. Lol! Early on in my quilting I learned to always buy more than I thought I would need, especially after fishing out scraps from the trash to piece together when I ran out a particular fabric, couple of times. Lesson learned, and stash collected! ;)janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869481664765987786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701098836147116546.post-16078014275873391152010-08-12T17:09:31.159-05:002010-08-12T17:09:31.159-05:00I'm done after 3 times.
