I am with the "organized scrappy". That would bother me too. In fact I have had that exact thing happen to me. Now I number my strips and check often. My kids laugh that I am such a perfectionist. Perfectionist and quilting just don't work together. I would have to rip it out, otherwise you will not be happy with the finished product.

Organized scrappy here too.

Perfectionism does go with quilting. There are lots of homey, utilatarian quilts...and then there are museum quality quilts.

I know mine won't make a museum at anytime...but I'm ok with that.

I like this idea! It will look like you put the two together on purpose!!

That was my thought as well. Just take about at that seam and flip.

Embroider "Merry" on one red strip and "Christmas" on the other!

Brilliant idea!! I would take a scrap and applique it right on top of the one red strip. No since ripping anything apart!! It would be a piece of cake to fix that way! lol.

Sorry Yea it takes away from all the other straight, beautifully placed strips. Sorry but in my opinion it would look better if they were not such close buddies.
