One Step Forward....Two Steps Back

So, I encountered my first weekend with my new quilting adventure and, as I thought, I wasn't able to accomplish anything.  There's just too much to do to catch up with the week.  Monday came and I was tired.  I got home and made myself quilt.  I just kept thinking about how good I'd feel if I had something accomplished.

This "leg" of the quilt I have to sew 4 part A's, to 4 part B's.  I sat at the machine
and started sewing.  Aw, not so bad after all.  I finished all 4 sets and took this beautiful picture:

Nice, huh?
Then I started reading what I would have to do next....on another day, of course.
I actually ended up re-reading what I did today only to discover that I sewed
part A to part B wrong!!  UGH!  I had about 10 minutes of  'free time' left.
I decided to embrace my mistake right then and there. I was able to rip out one
of the 4 strips and decided to sew that one set...

Only to find out that I sewed that one wrong as well!  Double UGH!
So, above you see two sets that are both sewn wrong...but still pretty looking?!
Now I still have 4 strips to rip apart and resew.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow..
