OBW fabric disaster!!
#42
Ok. Here is my suggestion. Take lots of the flower head pins and mark multiple identical points (like she says to do on the 4 corners) just down the length of the fabric sections and also in the center. I think you can salvage it if you get multiple points to match in your repeat. Even if they don't match exactly, the patterns will still be cool. I love OBWs. I just have so many other projects to do that my yardage for the next three just sits and waits!

I'm sorry this happened and I'm putting this thread in the OBW topic list to help pre-warn others. :-)

The things we do for the love of a passion
I have some fabric that I have washed that I'm going to do a OBW. Wish me luck!
