Your finished bee is gorgeous, but I really love that you shared what went wrong along the way. Social media is full of beautiful finishes and it's easy to forget that the biggest difference between a project fail and a successful finish is NOT whether or not the quilter screwed anything up along the way. The difference is whether the quilter gave up when they ran into trouble, or whether they reached for the seam ripper (again and again!) and kept on trying until they got it right! :-)Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-13299406065129111232020-07-01T09:09:42.378-05:002020-07-01T09:09:42.378-05:00Oh, that is fun to look at!Oh, that is fun to look at!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01579473031377014416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4580965803850912868.post-74692742596225911852020-07-01T07:58:37.000-05:002020-07-01T07:58:37.000-05:00It is part of the paper piecing fun!
