All of the blocks are done, this was made using fat quarters, so if I scrap it and try it again, I would have to buy the fat quarter bundle again. My brain has been kind of hinting of scrapping it and do a different pattern altogether, my nephew is going to love whatever I make for him. My heart, however, broke just a little bit when I realized what had happened and the realization sunk in I may have to ditch the pattern for something else. It made starting my sister's quilt a little painful and not going to lie, I was a little gun shy but so far, that one seems to be going smooth, albeit with a couple of hiccups that I was able to solve. I would have to pull out the background fabric and measure it, but I do have the backing already here. I have scrapped an entire quilt when I realized it wasn't going to work out before, I don't have a problem doing it again, it just hurts a little because it's my nephew's quilt.
Picking it all apart and starting over - also an option, it would be a big saver of money. Granted, that's a lot of seam ripping, but once I had everything pulled apart, I could easily trim down everything and sew it back together more accurately with smaller measurements - maybe take the block all the way down to 6.5" or maybe 7.5" versus 9". Granted, a smaller quilt, but again, it's my nephew, he'll love a quilt whether it's big enough for his bed or just enough for a large lap quilt. Getting used to my new sewing machine has been something I honestly wasn't expecting to take long, but it has and my seams are much more accurate now versus when I started his quilt.
