There are a lot of times I let a mistake go, however, on this one the star points were reversed so they kind of had to be changed. When I was working this project probably would have ended up as a UFO, but since I have more time to quilt now, I took the time to fix it. Glad I did.

That's so funny, did he offer to buy more fabric to replace what he thinks you should toss? I would probably put it aside and go on to something else with the intention of someday.....

My DH is such an enabler that he probably would have driven me to the LQS to get more fabric! I'm glad I stuck with it. I will finish putting the top together today.

I'm with you, I would have to rip and fix it.

Sounds like my husband!

I am not a sports nut but I was a barmaid in Toledo and the Mich-vs-Oh crowds were a bit out there Them fella's wore more make-up in one day then 10 women do in a year. No other game had a crowd like that one. It was always a very profitable day for me. My sister always bet on the wrong team.

I can relate to having the top about finished and had 2 blocks turned the wrong way. One was very easy to spot and the other blended in but wrong. I know I would look at it every time I had the quilt out, so I changed them.

How good is he with a seam ripper?

Are you going to post pictures when you are finished? We would love to see it.
