Yesterday I was thrilled with my little quilt I had LAQ'd. I decided to trim it up and I found that near the corners my inner borders were distorted to the point I had to trim a little off the outside border to straighten things up. Of course that did nothing to help the distortion of the inner borders, which was straight and square when I took the quilt in. Is this normal for LAQing?? My quilter told me she had no trouble with my quilt at all; all my seams were good and straight, etc.... other than this, and her using thicker batting than I use, I'm pleased with the quilt.

On a brighter note, I used the binding tool at last and I absolutely love it....so simple to use (watch the tutorial first) and the results are wonderful. Every quilter deserves one of these

These are truly the Dog Days of Summer. Take care....Barb
