One thing that is very confusing is that they have written the pattern for one line of fabric. I am not using that line, so I had to translate and that proved difficult for me. I don&#8217;t like the directions very much. I don&#8217;t think they are bad, but they don&#8217;t really work for the way I work.<\/p>\n<p>So, earlier this week, I sat down with EQ7 and made a rendition of the quilt. This helped me wrap my head around the project a little more. This exercise coupled with the math that TFQ did for me when she was here\u00a0 made me less frustrated and excited about this project again. I organized a bit last night while the boys were out, so I am ready to sew like crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have really not turned on my sewing machine in two weeks.
