Five or six years ago, I bought the Sunny Days Quilt Blocks from Joanns. At that point in my life - had been sewing for years and wanted to start quilting.

I dutifully made each block and then dutifully assembled using the setting kit. I knew nothing of squaring blocks, etc.

I put the top away, because some of the blocks did not line up, and I sewed past the points. The worst is off 1/4". Of course it is in the center section.

So, am I being too critical of myself and should get over it and finish, or should I take apart and try to match up.

Below is the exmples of my "mistakes" where the blocks do not meet.

On the good side - I did learn a lot from making this quilt and it was the start of the quilts I now make.

Thanks for any advice!!

One junction of about 1/8"
