keep ripping, it's worth the time :roll: Don't do what I've just done and plough on ahead anyways. I've just finished a top and didn't like the material. So, I didn't give it the respect it needed and when corners didn't exactly match I thought "oh well, it's only a bit out" and figured I'd square things up and it would be fine in the end. Well, I've ended up with a top that looks fine to the untrained eye but I (and everyone here would) see the unmatched corners. Thank goodness the blocks have few matches but even a simple quilt is too much work, effort and material to treat it carelessly. I've learned a good lesson and applaud your determination even though it's frustrating.
