That is very frustrating! Just remember...there are not mistakes in quilting...only creative adjustment! Have you thought of trimming done the other side so they are the same and then adding a border?

It looks great on my screen! I see a little spot on the last row where it is a little short, is that what you are talking about? It shouldn't be too hard to fix.

To even it out, I would cut out my gray shadow and still it would not line up!!! :-( I would be adding a border, but I need to undo and redo!!! Practice makes perfect...

Sorry about your problem. I love the quilt and design and colors though.

I would take off the last row, then measure to see whether it's actually shorter than the others. Chances are it's very close to the same size, so you would just need to ease it in. Pin at both ends and in the middle first, then all along the sewing path so that the edges match. If it's really that much different in length, compare to the other rows to see where the problem is and fix it. It's a very pretty quilt, and you can fix this.

I must be blind. I don't see the problem at all. I love the 3-D effect.
