Time to share an update on my May OMG (One Monthly Goal).
I had decided that it was time to get the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project out of the closet and finish up the borders.
I also said that I had issues with piecing the borders and that it was the pattern’s fault.
Ahem.
Turns out, as is often the case when I am involved, my issues were due to operator error.
Somehow the piecing just went together so much better when I took the time to mark and pin.
Go figure.
I am linking up with Elm Street Quilts. Check it out and see what other’s have accomplished for their May goals!

Oh yes, I agree, Kathy! And it didn’t hurt me at all to learn to work with the triangles. Heh, heh!

Operator error happens around me too. I wonder if there is a way to stop it … that doesn’t involve us stopping what we enjoy doing.

I think the operator error happens more often the older I get! But you are right…mustn’t let it stop us from having fun, Judy! 🙂

The borders look great – certainly worth the effort. I would save myself a lot of time and bother if I learned and applied the lesson to pin before stitching!
