I am making a quilt for DGS -- it consists of panels of Eric Carle fabric. After spending hours trying to straighten out the wonky panels, I started assembling the quilt. There are 4 panels -- each is directional. Somewhere between the design wall and the sewing machine (a distance of about 3 feet) one of the blocks in each row flipped -- and given that I am some what sleep deprived I did not notice until I was assembling the whole thing. (sigh -- doing the frog stitch -- ripit)

Thought I would work on something else -- started some very easy QAG place mats for a cousin. You guessed it, I turned 2 of the directionsl center panels sideways.

I think I need a nap!!!

sounds like you need a nap

yup - quit worrying - it just makes it more uniques the kids won't notice

uh huh, take a nap!

YUP sounds like a nap, or to walk away for a while.....

Step away from the sewing machine! Lol. Been there! Yes, take a nap and revisit your projects when you're fresh!

Maybe chocolate also -- stirs up endorphins I think -- makes you see more clearly, at least for a few minutes!

Yep, been there and done that more than once. Have a nice nap and a glass of iced tea (or beveridge of choice) and try it again tomorrow.

Been there, done that

Nap time. BrendaK

I just started quilting a beautiful top for a friend who is sick. I messed up good with it. I think I will have to rip it.
I'm so disheartened.
I understand how you feel now.

My was a Bady quilt that I was putting together. Had it in quilting machine before I seen that "O P" come before"L M N".for this quilt. you know it will never see the light of day.

Just where is it written that all panels in a quilt have to go the same way? It might be more interesting to mix them up a bit. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it.)

Yup, I've done that. No more sewing in the middle of the night for this girly!! :D

That was the first thing I thought of - Chocolate heals all - but naps help as well

You meant to do it that way. It's a design element to make it an original work of art. Besides, now you can look at it from any angle, there is no absolute top or bottom.

There are days when we really should just lie on the couch watching TV or reading quilt magazines while eating some chocolate because we need to recharge our batteries.
