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 |
Yay!!! I'm glad you figured it out.

I would like to see how you figured it out, inquiring minds want to know. :?
|
I am so happy you figured it out, great job
|
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!
|
I,too, would have taken it apart to MAKE IT work out.
I'd rather be bother by it for a day or a week or how ever long it took to get it right... rather than... look at it after it was done and say I wish I could have made it better. I'm glad to hear you worked it out... Got Pictures ? :lol: |
glad you figured it out...and it was just 2 rows lol..good job....post pics when your done...:)
|
Congrats on figuring out the solution. Share it with us when you are done.

Once I was making a friendship star quilt for a friend's baby and was in a hurry. I had the quilt top finished with the borders on when I showed it to my husband. His question was: are all the blocks supposed to look like stars? I had inverted the star points on 2 or 3 of them. In a fit of temper, I wadded up the top, tossed it to the floor and walked away. But as all quilters know, you have to come back, pick it up and make it work.....so there I was, ripping out the wrong blocks and re-doing them. My lesson learned was before I sew the finished blocks together, check them against the pattern to make certain I have it right....resewing a seam is never fun.
