I'm making an Argyle quilt for my DGD and I got all the triangles cut out. I sewed the blocks together in strips, put them on the display board, stepped back and thought it looked much better than the last one I did. Then my DH comes down the stairs, looks at it, tells me it looks good and asks if there is a reason why some stripes are going to the left diagonal and some to the right. Yikes! Thought I could switch them around but after looking at it a minute I realized that when I cut the triangles they were cut as mirror images (wrong sides together). DUH! I'm going to take artistic license on this one and not change it. As far as anyone else knows I did it on purpose. It will be my secret - and yours. Guess I learn something new with every quilt - some the hard way
