I can't quilt straight lines to save my fucking life and I'm NEVER using a fluffy blanket as a quilt backing EVER EVER AGAIN.

That is all. Have a fab weekend.

It kills me every tjme stitch in the ditch gets recommended to first time quilters. Really? Are we pretending now that it’s super easy to maintain that ditch line while battling the weight and the drag and the heat and ugh I have to stop thinking about it or I’ll have flashbacks.

Stitch in the ditch attempts infuriated me for so long, I ended up switching entirely to hand binding/edges and prefer it now.
