goof proofing

if the goof on the left-facing buffaloes

 thank goodness i'd made only two lefties before i realized the design was goofed up 

taught me anything, it's to PROOF my drafting before i commit it to Kinkos

 and their eleven cents per copy policy...

and so i did...

i sense a disturbance in the Force

i think it's gonna work... 
i tried War and Peace together, but i don't like the peace pipe and the tomahawk on the same ray
so that's gonna change...

the last time i made a lone star quilt, it was for my oldest brother's sixtieth birthday...

he's gonna be sixty-nine this year - good grief! how did THAT happen?!?

i used the strip piecing method and must have cut some of the units too narrow or too wide

when i put it all together, it wouldn't lay flat

i tried pressing it into submission, but it thumbed its nose at me...

so i held it up and asked Melissa to run by it at top speed - she said it looked okay... 

i didn't argue with her... 

and my brother didn't seem to mind

okay, i'll admit that i didn't actually TELL him - and i didn't tell him that i loaded the backing on the quilt frame upside down and didn't notice til i was taking the quilted quilt off the frame - which is another reason why Liz the Longarm Quilter is my favorite Real Life Super Hero...

anywho...

 i do NOT want to goof up another star - so i've decided to paper-piece the rays

which means more drafting

 and more goof proofing...

i SHOULD be making microwave-a-bowls and crayon wallets...

don't tell my conscience...

Conduct is the best proof of character.
