I am posting this only because I said I would and it really isn't fair to not let others learn from my mistakes. [Please note, that this isn't as hard as I am making it.] After I got them sewn together you would think I would have noticed that the purply-red strip looked out of place, nope! It was only once I cut them aprat and lined them up it I see the error. Lucky for me I didn't also forget my seam ripper :oops:
I am going to mark up my plan to fix this but they may kick me out before them. I can read and post with the iphone, I just can't post pictures that way.
Before I cut it

Oddly enough, I am not too upset by what I did.
What is the "correct" sequence for 5-10?
Where does the purple strip go? In a different quilt?
I am right in thinking I need solids in the light-medium area (as was suggested before, but no quilt stores are open on Sunday in this state!!!) I can go tomorrow but I wonder how I will do that by myself :)
