Someone else care to describe what I am talking about?

    Looks good -- I would not worry about something that tiny. I have a 5' rule -- if you can't see it at 5', then do't rip since you can do create more distortion when you take it apart.

    Sewing in rows then attaching the rows is a great way to assemble a quilt. I have also made large blocks, but the rows are easier to handle for me.

    Keep going! Then maybe the 6th or7th quilt will be more perfect (In your opinion) but you will have got something done that is beautiful.

    Use the 25 mile an hour rule...if you hold it up and someone drives by at 25 mph and doesn't see it, don't sweat it. I had to LOOK to see your "mistake"
