what to do when it's a little off?
#1
I made a block and it's a little off, as in the inner square is a little wonky. I would redo it, but I really like it the way it turned out, but it's for a swap, so I'm not sure. any opinions? Just an add, the actual block is the correct size (12.5 x12.5) it is the starting inner piece that is a little off

yes you are a help, I don't want to post the picture in case the person getting it sees it. even if I redo , it would be from the same fabric
Coming from a hostess, my opinion would be keep it for yourself and make a new one.. After my swap I got quite a few, not-so-happy, swappers that felt that what they rec'd should of been perfect.. But that's just from my experience..
if it was for me, Id love it.. the wonky-er the better..
Sorry Im no help..

it is disappointing for one to get a swap block that is not near perfect in its workmanship. What would be your reaction if every one you got did not meet the size requirements and were nearly impossible to put into a quilt.
Do it over and correct the errors.
