so, the sun is setting, not rising?? how is that wrong. i would just say that is how i wanted it and make sure the rest are the same.
on the other hand, if it bugs you then redo it. just know it isn't wrong this way, just different.
have fun.

I paper piece also and it is a learning process just like any other part of quilting. Don't sweat the small stuff after all it is your quilt and you can do the colors however you want!!!!!!

The most thing to remember is. Back to back always. Back of fabric to back of paper. I have taken out stitches way to many times., You will do fine. It is a learning thing trust me. have fun with this. OK?

They are laying flat so you must be doing something right!!! My points usually don't come together right and I end up with a dome and then off to pick, pick, pick :-)
We don't screw things up we just try the wrong way first so we know what not to do when we want it perfect :-)

" I always screw up EVERY thing I do." Boy do I know that feeling! But your quilt squares are great! They remind me of the colors in all the Amish quilts. The way you laid out the colors gives it movement. It may not of been the way you wanted them, but in the sceam of things if that's the worst mistake you make today then it will have been a good day.
