I always try to lay my blocks out in order, then pick them up 2 at a time and sew them together or pin the whole row together and sit and sew.
Then do the next row. Lay out all rows in order then sew 2 rows at a time together. until finished and I usually get it right that way. |
Well this happens to all quilters not only 1 time but many times. Take one more look and say its really alright for some bunnies to go in the opposite direction. If that works leave it . if not bite the bullet and RIPPPPPPPPPP lol jolo

Oh yes, have done this many times. I found that taking a picture of the quilt all laid out is very helpful. Especially with the digital camera. I download the picture on my computer and the mistakes just jump out at me. For some reason, they are easier to spot in a picture. It works for me. But must add my last quilt ended up with 3 blocks upsidedown. I still don't know how that happened. Those darn imps again!!
|
i have done that before and i just walk away from it for a day or 2 and then come back and rip it out and re do it. sometimes i think i do it because i know i am getting close to getting the quilt done and i get in a hurry so i am not paying attention to what i should be doing
|
I put a "mistake" in almost every quilt I make - but a whole row would stand out. When you are relaxed in front of your favorite TV show just do some "un-sewing".
|
It puts a new spin on the term "Getting ripped"!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Last Spring, not long after I got back into quilting, I had posted a progress picture of a quilt I was making. Very lucky for me another member noticed a couple of blocks I had backwards!! I had never noticed it!!
:) |
I have done it too. That is why I have a seam ripper.
|
That's why my seam rippers wear out!
|
Don't feel bad. Just today I was sewing on the binding and several places didn't get completely caught in the seam and of course I didn't notice until I was hand stitching it to the back grrr!
