Not that I can't enjoy the works of others who are happy to let chaos reign. I just know my own quirks and limitations, and I have learned to live with them.<br />Interested to see what you end up doing with your chaos. : )Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-46720059465496005742015-07-22T10:10:16.992-04:002015-07-22T10:10:16.992-04:00I'm sure you will find some order in all that ...I'm sure you will find some order in all that chaos. My Bow ties were chaotic and I had to tame them with a sashing. Can't wait to see what this quilt tells you to do.

That way you could build your quilt top in columns but not rows . . . a bit of order but not too much.

I sewed each row together...there was some trimming involve to make each row straight. i had to make up a few more small blocks to complete the last row...then, it was a completed flimsy! Embrace the chaos! Let it go! Then, clean up the sewing room, and move on to the next project! The Cozy Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865939114162214245noreply@blogger.com
