Polly, I am with you on the hissy fit, but what can I say. I think I
mislead
some on this board, I have not attempted triangles, still have issues
with a
9 patch. I see quilts in quiltshops that are not perfect, seams are
off, quilting is
down right ugly, etc. Maybe I am a bit too hard on myself, I expect
perfection, or
something similar to.
