I did a Turning Twenty and made cutting mistakes. Peiced the blocks, then cut to the right size. Not a problum and when I get it quilted who will know, only me...and the rest of you on this thread! LOL!

Gotta say - been there, done that! I was making a Triple Irish Chain and mis-cut for a couple of the blocks. I didn't have enough fabric, so I pieced it together. I think I have a couple of blocks in that quilt where I had to piece one particular fabric to get what I needed. Only I know it is there, and I look at is as a "where's Waldo" type thing.

I say go for it!!! Use the fabric you love, it will be wonderful in the end.

I thought I was the only one who did that. I accidentally cut too small and after "freaking out", I sew the pieces together and open the seams and get on with the quilt. I'm always muttering under my breath about how stupid I was about what I did, but I always seem to do it again. Usually I just stop after I miscut and sit there and think really hard hoping I can undo my mistake, but I've never been able to undo it. I do a lot of cussing and that makes me feel better. Hee hee

I just did this myself. Making a rail fence quilt and cut one strip piece an inch short. Sewed it back together, no problem. After its quilted nobody will know but me...and now all of you, but that's ok! Lol

I have several old quilts and they all have pieced blocks. Not a problem. Who do you know that inspects a quilt? [Other than the quilt inspectors].ha, And they don't turn them down if you let them sleep on them. I'm trying to be funny. In reality, no one would notice and if they did they would know it was intentially made that way.

I took the Turning Twenty class and someone made the same mistake. The instructor told us she did the same thing. We all stood there looking at her quilt and didn't find her mistake until she pointed it out so by all means sew them together! No one will know unless you point it out.

A lot depends on the kind of quilting as well as how busy the fabric is. It will probably be hard to detect in the finished quilt, unless it's solid colors and a very regular design of quilting or SID. I would say go for it, unless you are making it for a paying customer or for competition.

Perfect solution!

We won't tell if you don't! LOL
