I think perfect is overrated. Don't think of it as imperfect. Think of it as unique. Square it up and finish what you have. I am sure it will be loved and appreciated as is.

I believe we become too confident in our ability to piece.
I tend to forget that each block should be measured to make sure it ends up the size it should. When something doesn't work and I start to analyze the reason, I find that it happened way back in the process. So......make a note to check after each seam is sewed.

It is not a mistake, it is an adventure in a different direction. Enjoy that adventure.

Sorry! Disapearing 9 Patch...You do a simple 9 Patch the cut it in half Top to Bottom and Side to side and then re-sew it together...
It looks really cool!
Do a search on this website for D9P and you will find some samples!

Have fun! Cathay
