I had six out of eight rows completed on my quilt. I completed the other two rows and sewed them together and went to sew them onto the original six. The two new rows are a block shorter than the original six. And of course it's much more complicated than just sewing on another block. Ripping, Ripping, Ripping......... ARGH!!! No sympathies please, just send chocolate.

UGGG! I understand...yes, chocolate is needed.

\_/
_|_ here's some wine to go with your chocolate. Hope it gets better ;)

Pink-faced admission: That has happened to me too OR I realized that a block or two were just wrong. I did not rip the entire row but just enough to take out the bad parts and set in the new. The only downside to that method is that the seams don't fall in the same direction throughout.

Chocolate bunny ears on the way lol :lol: :lol:

Along with the chocolate, I am sending hugs. It happens to the finest and most prepared as well. Now would be a great time to go scrub your bathroom with a vengence. Take out your frustration on the toilet, and not yourself. :-)

I did that once--just added two little blocks to add with name and date, etc. so it would look deliberate!
but of course it depends on the design....
Other times, the ripper gets worn out....

>>>>>>> Chocolate <<<<<<<<<

Quilty hugs to you! One night I was so tired that I shouldve stopped sewing. I had a block with pieced units around a solid center. The center was too big but looloobelle here actually just kept going and put a pleat in it. What was I thinking?!? So better to do the ripping now, no fudging, you'll be happier later.

been there, done that....am sending a large pitcher of margaritas for you:)

I couldn't begin to tell you how many ways I've screwed up a quilt, but I know it's far too many. For me, I just have to make it right or I know I'll never be happy with the quilt or myself. Sending lots of chocolate....

All food and drink will be gratefully accepted. Thanks.

Okay, I get it. I shall put my seam rippers with some chocolate. Rip and reward.

Empty chocolate box on the way - been there recently....sorry.

I agree with wine and chocolate which usually helps me through these same kinds of situations, with all too much frequency!!!

I worked real hard on a cherokee star and when i got it all most one star itself the thing was a fraction off rir..rip

OK. I ripped it out and fixed it. The top is now ready for borders. Thanks for the support. Hugs and margaritas to all. XXOO. -Sage

}}}}}} CHOCOLATE {{{{{{

Or, how about some chocolate wine? I just got some at Costco. Seems like it would be perfect for such situations.

:mrgreen:

I keep chocolate right by my machine. Those Hershey's Drops are just the berries.

Godiva is on its way!

Sometimes it takes less time to make new blocks than to RIP , RIP , RIP! ! ! ! ! ! ! And have chocolate, too! !

I did some 'unsewing' myself today. Can I have Chocolate?

I feel your pain, been there done that!!!

YES YES YES!

...yes, chocolate and some "adult beverages" too.
(Virtual Chocolate attached!)

Chocolate? I would go for GIN!

Are you sure it's not a design opportunity?

I can't send you Chocolate but I will have piece just for you. good luck

:-(...you're not alone :-)

I fee your pain! Been there - done that - Chocolate Helps!

I wish you could share your chocolate and wine with me. I'm making a purse for DIL and tried free motion quilting on it. It isn't pretty. So now I think I better rip it out and try just straight stitching instead.

I know how you feel....been best friends with my seam ripper for 2 days now :cry:

Congrats on getting it back together. Do we get to see a picture? BTW: I had some chocolate for you. It was sooooooothing! :wink:

chocolate and wine to the rescue!

That's funny because I just came upstairs from my sewing room because I sewed all my browns to cream instead of blue. I knew I should have quit when I got tired. I guess we can both rip tomorrow.HaHa

Oh man we've all been there. Make sure you show us when it's done ok.

As much fun as quilting is it can also be a pain (when it comes to ripping). But it is always worth it in the end. Hugs.

Oh how awful! I do feel your pain though, walked into the studio last night only to find that my "darling" kitty, Stitch, had ripped 2 of the squares in the middle of the quilt on the design wall. If I could have found him at that moment, I am sure he would have been hitching down the road. GRRRR!!

Been there, done that. I'm having a glass of wine for you!
