You really have to laugh about it.

Been there, done that.

And in this case, yeah, I would reverse sew it. Unless you change the outside blocks to make a complete X with dark lines going through the whole quilt.

Your right!!!
I think the only thing I will change is the corner blocks to complete the x.

Then I will start on another.
This time I'm not going to use the stripes either.
This is the other thing I didn't like about it.
Some of the stripes are not straight.
So some things to change on the next one.
This one is going to be a gift.
Thanks for helping & all your nice comments about it.
Don't get me wrong I like it but I know it'll look better with a few changes.

Without that, the 2nd design, as is, is just not as defined as the first one, and looks a bit too scrappy.

So, what's your favorite type of seam ripper? :wink:

And seems I'm in the minority. And so it goes. ;) ;)
