Bleh!

At my clinic where I work, one of the doctor's wives is having a little baby girl. I got the grand idea to make them a blanket. I called my sister to find out if I could even make a quilt without having quilter's frames, and she assured me that I could, as well as gave instructions on the whole process. I went to the fabric store and found the most adorable material. I, being so excited, started that evening while Ben was at a softball game. The beginning went very smooth for the most part. I did learn why people use quilters frames versus their bedroom floor, but all in all, for my first quilt without my mom by my side, I was pretty satisfied how things were looking. It went so quick; I remember even thinking to myself I could do this for every baby gift, if I wanted to! HA! That was my first mistake. I decided to put biast tape around the edges to finish it up, and when I began to sew it to the blanket, it didn't lay flat at all, and kinda had a rippled look to it. I grabbed the seam ripper, and took out one whole side of it. Then I went to sewing again. Same thing happened. You can repeat my last few sentences a couple more times, because that's exactly what went on multiple times. My sister emailed me some written instructions to help, but I didn't understand what they were trying to tell me to do so I impatiently tried it again on my own. Should have guessed what would have happened this time, since it worked so well the first 3-4 times previously! Now I have a million tiny holes all throughout the edging and the quilt where stitching has been removed, and it's STILL ugly. I give up. Normally I like to admire a project I just completed, but now I can hardly stand to look at it. Here's your pictures Pamela. Thanks for the help, but next time I may just pay you to do it for me!
