Quilting is a stress reliever!

Yes, Quilting is a stress reliever. But some folks might disagree, especially when they are working with intricate shapes.  Everything can be overcome, even those pesky mistakes in your quilting.

Today, I was watching a quilting program where a quilter took a quilting mistake and cut it up, added more fabric and turned into something wonderful and modern looking.  It was refreshing to learn that you don't have mistakes in quilting just happy accidents (this is what Bob Ross always said about painting).

So I challenge you to take a mistake and turn it into something great and new.
