Read The Directions!

Sometimes we just get in too big of a hurry.  Sometimes we think we already know.  Whatever the excuse...IT PAYS TO READ/REVIEW THE DIRECTIONS! 

When you find some beautiful fabric.....and that is easy to do at my favorite quilt shop in Trenton, KY....and you get the urge to make something you have seen on YouTube....you really need to review the directions before you start.

If you DON'T!!!!!!   It could end up looking like this....




And you are NOT going to be happy!   So then you have to take this



And do a WHOLE LOT of this



Until it looks like this




So you can put it back together like this





Still a work in progress.....more on this quilt top later. 
And finally.......(drum roll)..............
Four years later.....I finished it up last night.
