Oops. I made a huge mistake.
 

I cannot believe the stupid mistake I made the other day. I had all of the blocks made for a new quilt. I sashed the sides of ea. one to create rows. Then I put the horizontal sashings on then the first border. Yikes, then I realized I forgot to put the center sashing in. Oh my gosh, Now I have to take the center seam out & cut the borders to fix it all. At first I was going to just leave it like it is but my conscience won't let me so that's how I'm going to spend this rare, rainy day in Ariz. I hate to waste the border fabric but I guess I'll have to take the border off & cut new pcs. to avoid piecing new borders. What a dummy. What a waste of time.

It happens to all of us, don't feel bad.

Yes, been there!!!

Well look on the bright side, you only had the first border on when you realized your ooops. I've done a bunch of stupid mistakes and I'm like you, no one would notice or they would think it's supposed to be like that. We know it's not right and it will bug us forever if we don't fix it. There have been days where I used my seam ripper more than my sewing machine. Enjoy the rain and enjoy your sewing day. Maybe treat yourself to something good to snack on or drink.

You are not alone, we all make mistakes at one time or another. I am very bad about rushing when I get about half way through with a quilt and I start making mistakes if I don't slow down. I bet your quilt will be beautiful when finished.

At least it is raining, what a better day to reconstruct. Hope you can laugh about it someday.

Just when I think I have made every mistake possible. I either find a new one or I start repeating the old try and trued ones.

Time for a good movie, aka sit and take out. Please post a picture when it is all done.

Oh, well. You could cut the now-too-short border in half and add an accent block to the center to extend it's length.
