Mistakes can happen; after all, we’re all human!
Instead of getting overwhelmed when something goes ‘not quite as planned,’ consider it an opportunity to learn.

This process adds depth and character, turning it from a beautiful piece of fabric into a true work of art.
Whether you choose to go free-motion or use a walking foot, the design process can be as fun as assembling the patchwork!
Furthermore, consider adding a unique label to the back of your quilt, including your name, the date, and a little message to commemorate this creative endeavor.
It adds that personal touch and will be a wonderful keepsake for you or a loved one!
