I had to look quite awhile to see your error, even with your explanation! My philosophy is, learn from your missteps and move forward. This is not something that will be noticed when it's being enjoyed on someone's lap!

I'm with SewNoma-mistakes not that noticeable! Years down the road you will look at it & be amazed at how far you have come & have a good laugh! Nice colors U chose!

Put a big flower with stem and leaves over that side.

I agree, this is a great opportunity to be creative. Change your design in mid-stream. Be creative and have fun.

Also, as I am the queen of the seam ripper, I know that sometimes, you just can't live with it. If that happens to be the case, you only have two seams to "rip" and realign. It will go faster than you think.

You have to do what makes "you" happy.

Sorry about sounding like a party poop - but - unappealing as unsewing it and redoing it is - will you be happy with the way it is?

It's your quilt - and you are free to do - or not do - what works for you.

For ME, having a mistake (or as some would say - a "new design element") I know about and can correct - and not doing so -

It would be the same as wearing dirty underwear inside out and backwards. It would bother me.

I would also just add a few more elements to it, to make it into a different quilt. It'll simply become a 'modern' quilt and will probably end up looking fantastic! :thumbup:

Lol, I think your quilt looks great. I did this very thing on purpose awhile back when I had some fat quarters and wanted to be able to showcase the fabrics AND make it big enough for a baby quilt..... I would undo the two side borders just enough to trim the bottom straight across with the narrowest white on the left(it would remove all of the tan sashing, then add a tan bottom border the same width as your other borders. Voila! :)

Don't fret over it. Just tell everybody you planned it that way, We have ALL made mistakes with a quilt so just get it quilted and try better with your next one. Quilting is a lot like learning to drive.

Trim it even at the bottom, add another border if you want it a bit bigger, layer quilt, bind--DONE!

Every quilt is a learning experience; no need to beat yourself up over this.

Thank you for all the replies. I do believe I'll go with my first instinct. (that was after my initial heartbreak...) I thought I'd just pretend I wanted the blocks to be staggered. I'll keep re-reading these replies through the day and decide what to do about the uneven side. (It is the bottom on my picture but it's really the side) I'll definitely post pics when I'm done. I love when people show how the issue was resolved!
