    It's really cute so far - as others have said - if you have enough fabric to cut new setting triangles - I think that would be the better way to go.

    If it's for a little one to be used - I think the quilt will survive better if it has at least 1/4 inch seam allowances.

    If it's to be looked at only - then - maybe - you could get by with skimpy 1/8 inch seam allowances.

    If budget affords for next time Nifty Notions rulers has one that eliminates the need for math and has a little extra built in for trimming. It's a really cute quilt. Let us know what you decide to do, with pics of finished quilt.

    Ditto that!! The quilt I'm working on now has the side setting tri's still hanging off the edge a bit until I'm done with the applique - then I'll trim the tri's when I square up the whole the quilt top before sandwiching/quilting.

    But yes - that quilt is too cute to not fix. If you have enough fabric, fix it.

    BTW - the one I'm working on also has appliqued bunnies

    Yes, if you have the fabric, and time, and patience, recut those pieces, otherwise YOU will see them every time you look at the quilt....If you don't have any of the above, then let it go and LEARN from this adventure......
    Great pattern, love you colors, what is the name of the pattern.....

    What a bummer! You could try a teeny weeny seam, but the blocks are so darn adorable, you'll be happier if you change it.

    As long as you are deconstructing, you might want to turn the 9 patch in the block second from the bottom on the right. The solid lavender square is in a different position from all the others. Or was that your deliberate mistake? )

    Your blocks are pretty!
    If you try to put the top together with setting triangles that are too small, the whole thing will be wavy and/or it just won't lay flat.

    You designed this? It's just beautiful! I, too, would like to see the completed quilt.
