I really like, no LOVE, this! I would say don't rip it. Beautiful blocks. Where are the patterns, or did you design them?

Hoping my thread will die quietly, now that Rachel has started the official one. So I'm cross posting my plea for help on this thread.
I just pulled out all the finished blocks for my BOM, and I discovered that I have sewed half of my connecting blocks together in mirror image Now I have to decide - redesign the quilt, or do a *lot* of ripping. Help! please look below, and tell me which you prefer. The blue/red block in the upper row is reversed in the 2 pictures. Do you like the symmetrical alternating light/dark (pic 1), or the all dark (pic 2) around the middle block?

A lot of quilt stores seem to have it as a BOM, so you might want to check with your local store or your favourite on-line store for it.

What a productive afternoon. I have worked on the quilt with a 9/13 deadline today (108"x108" - huge) and it is now ready to hand stitch the self binding. If the quilt police knew how long I have worked on this quilt (4 years) and saw how many mistakes I have made along the way (first quilt-big big learning curve) - they would put me away for life!

I'm going to work on hand sewing the binding to a baby quilt I'm working on. Hopefully get started on a T-shirt quilt for my nephew. Never made one, so a little intimidated with cutting up the shirts.

I'm finishing a quilt for my DGD - made from dresses I made for her when she was 5 and 6. I just have the binding to finish, and then I'll post a pic. I just finished embroidering the 'label' on the binding. When I finish here on the Board, I'll duck back into my cave and finish.
