+ Time spent un-doing
= Effort with nothing to show for it.
Some of my friends think I'm crazy, but here's my "Zen" philosophy of ripping out:
In life, when I take a wrong turn, make a bad decision, or otherwise make a mess of things, I have to live with the consequences. Not so in knitting! There, I get a do-over. In fact, I get as many do-overs as I want, and that makes me a very happy frog.
Obviously, ripping-out is never ideal. We'd all much prefer to get it right the first time. That's especially true in quilting (even if you've got your pal, "Jack" standing by to help).
In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing some of my favorite tips for precision quilt piecing, to help you get it right the first time, and every time. Be sure to subscribe to my email list so you don't miss a thing.
