What pattern is the block your doing. Is it the border you cut too short. Is it in the block that short? I've become pretty good fixing and hiding mistakes or making it look it is part of the pattern. LOL

Isn't "piecing" what quilting is all about? Piece it and make it part of the design. JMTCW (just my two cents worth).

Piece it, on the turning 20 it won't be noticed.

Yay!!!! I've done it myself and lived through it. No one can see "stuff" that we worry about.

I would piece it, no one will notice. The quilting will help also. One time I sniped a santin bluse I was making for me so I just added a small pocket. Don't worry.

That's my vote. If you are sure the quilting will hide it, then I wouldn't think twice about piecing it.

Been there, done that, pieced it back together, cut again and forgot about it!

:-D Quilter7x. Beautiful quilt. What is the pattern please. I agree with all of you. I have pieced so many times it's almost normal for me now. Happy New Year all.

I just did the same thing and pieced it. Now that it is quilted I do not notice it unless I look for it.
