To Kristin Love, Jen


Dear Kristin,
To avoid packing for my trip, I decided to start quilting a 12:30 am.
Avoidance is a re-accuring event for me.
(Does anyone love packing?)
I decided to go with green and orange.
Everything was going smoothly, until the last step.
When I went to cut the points of to square up the quilt... I was left with 1/4 inch triangles along all the edges. 
This picture makes it look worse that it really is, but you can see what I am talking about.
 Part of me thinks it can be sewn into the seam allowance...
the other part of me wants to start over.
Problem is, I do not know where I want wrong.
Please give me further instructions.
Were my seam allowances slightly too generous? Did I cut it wrong?
REALLY do not mind starting over.
Just let me know.

Love you,
Jen

PS I am leaving for Mexico in a few hours. If I am murdered or kidnapped by the Mexican Cartel, I hereby bestow my fabric collection to Nicole.  Additionally, I would also expect to be buried in a 12squared quilt. ;)

  1. Nope, it's perfect! I love the fabric choices, and I have those little triangles on mine too. I can't believe you are already done!! Be safe in Mexico, give a status update every now and then so we know you're okay!

    I seriously love the square!

  4. Dear Jen,
    I love it. I may not be able to wait for the Mexican Cartel to nab you. If you come home and your fabric stash is gone, don't be surprised.
    Love,
    Your Sister
