Many of you secretly enjoy seeing the dirty underbelly of real life quilting. Yes, it's nice to see those blogs where everything is pristine and perfect, but then there is real life.
Late last night I was quilting away on my Fig Tree quilt (this week's February Finish WIP). Easy, straight line quilting with the walking foot. So easy, I could just watch a little American Idol while I'm doing it. Man, that Steven Tyler sure is a pleasant surprise this season isn't he? Ooooh, that girl can sing. Gee, that weirdo sure is weird. You get the idea. One part quilting, ten parts watching TV.
After I finished, I unfurled the quilt to admire my nice symmetrical quilting lines on the quilt back and found this:
Wait, what? What the heck is that?
That is the sample Cathedral Windows block I made in my Atlanta Modern Quilt Guild class on Sunday. (Because I know you're wondering, the fabric in the window is Dena Designs Tea Garden.) It must have gotten underneath my quilt while I was quilting. It waves to me snidely like a little Fail Flag.
So I went to bed. I know better than to pick up the seam ripper in anger. I didn't want to have to write a post about Seam Ripper Fail too...
