Well my quilt as you go string quilt I had a problem with.....I had to completely take apart the two rows I couldn't get the rest to match. Somehow I had started with the strings going in the wrong direction for the pattern to work out right.
I have to take each block, rotate it one turn and then sew them back together. Then everything will come together right on both sides.
It took me a lot of head scratching to figure out the problem. I sure didn't want to take those two rows completely apart, but that was the only solution.
My hubby said I was going to turn into a "crazy quilter." Well, tomorrow is another day. Now that I know the solution it won't take too much longer to rework those two rows and finish the quilt.
I still want to put borders on it so hopefuly I will have it done by the middle of the week!
Thanks to all you who gave me encouragement. Sometimes a little goes a long way!! :D :D

I always figure I have to rip several times in each quilt, too.

Glad you figured it out Ditter. I know tearing apart is no fun but sometimes we just have to. It is all about quilting! LOL

Glad you got it sorted. Looking forward to seeing a photo of it finished.

Isn't it amazing what we do to ourselves by turning one block the wrong way? I had a feeling it was something simple, yet so time consuming! Glad you figured it out!
