I do like my seams to match, so if the problem is big enough to see from a distance, I rip. If I can't see it unless I look hard for it, I leave it alone. In other words, if some are a scooch off, I close my eyes. I just did my first Bargello recently, and a few of the seams were a bit off. I was in a really big hurry to get it done, so I just squinted and kept sewing! Guess what? The person who received it as a gift, was thrilled. I don't think she noticed the off center seams at all.

Please post pictures of your progress! I am getting ready to try a bigger Bargello now that I got my feet wet with a table runner, and would love to see what you are doing.
Wish I thought about taking pics throughout the progress! Good idea, but too late for me. I'm going to post a picture of the finished quilt when I'm done and the title will be something like: My Practice Bargello. Hint: it's blue-ish!
