So carrying on from my last post where I showed you my strips and mistakes, I then sewed all of my strips together.
Gutted! I had followed my plan to the letter (or so I thought).
So the question was, what to do next considering it really isn't any good? Do I carry on and make it into a quilt so at least I've had a go at the complete process of quilt making OR maybe unpick the lot and try something different.
What do you think?

I think these things happen when you have quite similar fabrics. I think you have done a great job. On my last quilt, I have one square facing the other way but you really don't notice it much. I suppose what you do depends on how much it bothers you.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't unpick the whole thing... only just the blocks you want to move. It will take a little more manoeuvering to sew those blocks back into place than when sewing completed strips, but by doing that you'd have the pattern you set out to create.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain,as my seam ripper is never put away since I am constantly using it :( I say if it bothers you just fix the out of place blocks,other wise leave it. It is quite lovely the way it is :)
ReplyDeleteThere are only a couple of blocks that are in the wrong place. I'd just pick those out - it looks like one or two "big" blocks got turned around and hopefully will be an easy fix. We've all done something like that - its how we learn!
