A New Quilt...A New Respect for Murphy's Law...

So we, the undomesticated women, have frequently discussed how Murphy's Law (the law of the universe which states that: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong at the worst possible time) is so frequently put into play whilst sewing.  I mean when I sew that seem, there is a 50/50 chance that I will sew it correctly, right?  NO if there is some way for me to mess something up I ALWAYS WILL.  I mean we are nearing 100% which is an amazing statistic.  For example, working on this new quilt for my friends Mike and Emily, I sewed two sets of strips of cloth together and then I was going to sew these two sets of two together to form a big strip of four.  SO this meant that I repeatedly sewed one strip with its seems facing out and one strip with its seems facing in, AND THEN when repairing them, switched them up so that they were in the wrong order....therefore re-sewing several times.  Jacqueline, my sewing guru and amazing friend finally had to start helping me towards the end as despair began to set in.  And this is all before the "complex" sewing begins...Ha.
