Great attitude!
You
should love your work!
I'm finally piecing the top from all the blocks I made for Barbara Brackman's Civil War Blog BOW in 2011 and some of those blocks are pitiful. One was almost a full half-inch wider than the rest.
I felt like Cinderella's ugly step-sister who says, "I'll MAKE it fit!"
I steamed it and squished it and pressed wrinkles right into it to take up the extra width. Yep, it's a little wrinkly now, but by the time I get to the quilting stage, the wrinkles will soften and then when it's washed, it's not going to be any more wrinkled or crinkly than the rest of the quilt. It's fine.
"Finished is better than perfect" and someday, my children will fight over who gets it. Hahahahaha! 😄
