Now and then, one of my quilt projects goes horribly wrong. If
I can’t fix it, I put it in a “time out” bag in the closet. Sometimes when I check
again, a solution presents itself. If not, the bag gets donated. Or at least it
did before this year. Last time I hauled stuff to good will was around Valentine’s.
These days, I limit myself to projects I can do with the supplies on hand, so I
don’t have to visit the quilt store. I pieced these log cabin blocks three
years ago, but when I tried to put them together, I discovered my seam allowance
was off and they were wonky. I tried straightening them, but the seam ripper
tore a big hole in one. This week I realized the backing fabric matched the
ripped piece. I could cut a new “log” and have plenty backing left over. Voilà!
My Halloween log cabin’s back in business!
