Ok so a while back I designed a quilt that would be in a labyrinth pattern. It was the first quilt that I attempted to do that was not just squares or triangles. Long story short ... instead of doing this in strips which would have been SOOOOO much easier, I attempted to do pieces and my pieces are all turning out weird ...
I have probably a little over half of the top pieced together but I am wondering ... Would it be easier to undo all of these pieces and start over? I have extra fabric, so that would not really be an issue and I feel that several of these pieces can be salvaged and reused ... I guess I just don't know what I should do :-/ I really want to finish this quilt (if not quilted then at least the top) to give to my younger sister as a thank you for throwing me a baby shower .... I have a month :/ Star fabric I am using for the quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]157041[/ATTACH] entire pattern (I got tired and did not finish filling it in with photoshop) [ATTACH=CONFIG]157042[/ATTACH] example of how I was piecing ... not the easiest for me when I am sure stips would have been much better [ATTACH=CONFIG]157043[/ATTACH] |
Strips would be a lot easier. Less seams and less bulk for quilting too.

Beautiful design & great colors. I would re-do & use strips, it will work up quicker in the long run

I love the pattern and my daughter would say, "That fabric is sooo you, Mom!" and then roll her eyes. Love it!
Do you mind if I borrow the pattern? I have a fabric that I have been wondering what I would make of it. I think this would work very well! |
I agree that you should redo it. Going around corners is going to be a bearcat and you will end up with lumps. I will be a beautiful quilt. Please post a pic when you are done. I am sure we will all be cheering you on!

That you all very much!! Guess my seam ripper and project bag are going to work with me tomorrow :)

To give something more of a patchwork look, long strips (example: 4x26) should be cut into squares that are sewn together to give final length correct? I am trying to see if I should do all squares that are sewn into strips that are then sewn together or do longer strips to save time???
