This looks just like my first bear claw quilt. Yep, I learn everything the hard way. Don't be discouraged... your quilt is beautiful. The colors are perfect. Each new project teaches us new lessons. If you cut accurately, sew a scant quarter inch (using a foot with a flange) press and trim every block to the exact size BEFORE you sew the next block, you will be able to make corrections as you go. If you don't already own a fons and porter seam ripper... it's the best. (it's red and cream colored) AND, the foot with the flange is another must have... just move your needle position over to a scant quarter inch for perfect seams EVERY TIME. Google "Edge stitching foot." Thanks for sharing.... :)
