Judy I agree with all these positive remarks! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I like the previous responder learned from reading books. Now that I am retired and living in the boonies, I still only can learn that way and from you.

Judy – I love the fact that you share your knowledge with us. I don’t think there are many of us who know so much about quilting that we can’t benefit by some suggestions by someone else. I know I always learn something new from you. I basically learned to quilt by reading books. Some of what I learned was great and it works well, but I’m always up for new tips! I remember taking a class from Marsha McCloskey years ago and being so relieved when she had us sew two squares together and measure whether we had an accurate 1/4″ seam. Mine was great. Now – do I always sew it accurately? Hmm – I think I tend to get off a bit when I rush. As they say, haste makes waste!

I am really enjoying reading how you work out doing borders. Please keep it up! My comments about how my methods might differ slightly from yours are only intended as conversation and nothing more.

The 1/4″ rule is like the advice you get from parenting experts: “consistency, consistency, consistency”. It can be one of the hardest rules to follow, both in quilting and parenting, LOL!
