I would finish it, it is very beautiful and someone will love it! It really doesn't matter if your seam is not 1/4" as long as you keep the same seam allowance throughout the whole quilt. Your quilt will just be smaller than what the pattern says, if you want a certain width and length, you can always make your borders wider or make several borders.

Dear toolazy, your quilt is lovely. As long as your seam allowance is consistant don't worry, it's when you sew with differing allowances that problems occur.Give yourself a pat on the back and RELAX, love Letty

if all your seams are the same width it should be okay it will just be smaller I would just continue

It is absolutely beautiful. Please continue the way you have been. Also, a finished quilt would be nice to see. Good work.

The only person that will know that your seams are not a quarter inch is you. Just make sure that you
keep the seam allowance that you have already. Your quilt will be just as beautiful finished as it is in
progress. Finish it and send us another picture. Don't you dare put this one in the unfinished box. Find
yourself a quarter inch foot for the following projects (if you like).

If it all fits together who cares what your seam allowance is?! This quilt is beautiful!

Keep going, it is so pretty, I would think you need to go with the seam allowances you have already been using. Perhaps you could put a border around this bit that would bring it up to a point where you could go back to a true 1/4" guide.

Definitely don't stop - keep using the same seam allowance throughout!

Continue with the beautiful quilt you are making! Don't even THINK about starting over! You could be sewing a half inch seam and it wouldn't matter, as long as you are consistent. Scant quarter inch is ideal because it reduces bulk in seams but it wasn't handed down from the heavens! Consistency is what matters.

You are creating an absolutely beautiful quilt. Keep on as you've been doing and finish this gorgeous thing! You can use your recently acquired quarter inch knowledge on the next one.
