First off, sorry if I was supposed to link this to my other thread about this quilt. My bad :( This is the NFL quilt I've posted about.
I am now in complete panic mode. I started piecing the quilt together and I'm at a loss.
Attached are pictures, hopefully they will help explain my dilemma.
The quilt I'm making are squares consisting of three 2 1/2x 6 1/2 inch strips sewn together. Once they are all sewn into patches they measure 6 1/4 x 6 1/2. Here's where I get confused. The patches should alternate vertical and horizontal, but now the squares are not true square. If I alternate them and sew them together, the edges are not straight due to the long sides on the vertical stripes.
Did I do something wrong, and is there a way to fix it?
First picture is a sample row of parts, second picture is a picture of the quilt I'm hoping to make.
Thank you in advance for keeping me from pulling my hair out.
