I am so frustrated! I got 2 of my borders on last night. Hung the top on the design wall for the night and - - what do I see? The bottom left block is the wrong block! And just when I think I'm getting the hang of all this. That's what I get for having 2 projects out at the same time!

Rip and I will have another non-productive morning taking that block out. I'm going to try insetting the right one. Wish me luck.

Just had to vent.

Well at least you noticed it before it was quilted!

You will get it yet! So glad that you caught it before you quilted it, and, that you aren't letting it stop you from finishing! Way to go!

Thanks for the encouragement! It's ripped out. Now to try the inset. The blocks are on point and I have some bias edges to deal with. Think I'll take a juice break first.

Same thing happened to me last week. Grrr! I managed to get it fixed but not without some angst. It helps to take a photo of the quilt and transfer to the computer. Amazing what you can see!

I'm pretty sure we have all have done this, or will be doing it, sooner or later. It's the quilting law!

In moments like this I just breathe and take a break! :-P

Yay!!! It worked!! The top is all back together, and the final border is on. Now I can sandwich and quilt. After I choose a backing. Thanks for getting me through this.
