this frank lloyd wright quilt is just not working.

i have:

-checked my cuts
-paid for a lesson to make sure i was stitching at the right seam allowance
-consulted with the instructor who assured me my cuts were right, as were my seam allowances
-looked at other people's projects to see if their pieces lined up (they do)
-borrowed a newer machine
-used a vintage machine
-starched the daylights out of everything and pressed like a maniac terrified of moving the iron
-avoided steam
-cried

i don't know what else to do. there are 36 little tiny pieces that come together to make side panels to compliment a pieced chevron and if they don't line up the quilt is not going to work.

in spite of the list above, they are not lining up. i am not quite done, but i am so frustrated. so incredibly unbelievably frustrated.
