Should I be overly concerned?

Should I be overly concerned?
I've just completed piecing the alternating blocks for "My Blue Heaven", a Bonnie Hunter pattern. Last evening I wanted to begin building rows and realized I pulled a BONEHEAD move and pressed both blocks the same direction. Now I need to decide if I want to go back and repress seams on 1/2 of the 132 blocks so that the seams nest and lie nice and flat or run with it. This would be a long arm quilter's nightmare having to quilt thru all those bulky seams I suppose. Oh dear.......what to do? DARN IT!!!!!

I would do it because it will make quilting it so much easier. Just do a dozen at a time then do something else and come back. Do that three times a day and you will be done in TWO DAYS and won't realize it. hang in there. We do learn from our mistakes !!

I have never had any trouble whatsoever longarming through extra levels of fabric on my Innova. However, I would definitely re-press the seams because it will be easier to sew the blocks together and get good matching that way.

Tartan....I wish it was that easy! However, its not in the rows.....its in the blocks themselves! One type of block is supposed to be pressed one way and the opposing block the other. I pressed them all the same unfortunately.

pdcakm......you quoted Roger Babson at the bottom of your post. Is he a relative or friend of yours? I work for a man by the name of Henry Babson! I wonder if they are relatives! It's not a very common name!
