exploding heart
 

I got the top done and I see a mistake. This was very difficult to get the blocks lined up when you put the rows together. Has anyone else had this trouble?

Beautiful finish! I have not done this quilt, so I am sorry to hear that you had issues with getting blocks lined up. However, I can’t see where the issues affect the outcome, it looks fantastic to me. I am glad you caught the oopsie before you got it quilted!

Thanks for posting this. I've had the pattern for a long time, but I haven't settled on color(s) yet. Thinking about blues and greens as I have the most scraps of each.

I think it's lovely. just come up with some smart philosophical explanation for it.... like, it represents the doorway into your heart to allow the love to flow. or something cheesy like that.

I love your quilt! I think most everyone that quilts has turned a block the wrong way.

Nice finish. I can see how easy it would be to turn a block in this pattern

There are no mistakes in something exploding! that is beautiful!!! lovely work.

Suzanne that's gorgeous!! No need to change anything. I love it.

That's gorgeous, Suz!

It turned out beautifully.

LAF2019, That is what my daughter said about the mistake. I may leave it and call it open for love.

It’s a really lovely quilt.

Your quilt looks great. However if it was mine, I would be fixing the mistake because that is the only thing I would see every time I saw the quilt and it would drive me crazy!

❤️ ❤️ 💕 lovely

Beautiful quilt! I've never tried one of these Exploding Hearts either, so can't help you on lining up the blocks. But does any quilt ever line up perfectly??

Beautiful and a lot of pieces. I find a design wall, or floor works best for me and I label each row, then carefully take them down one row at a time. I am notoriously angle challenged however and have been noted to turn triangles when I get to the machine, so it can definitely happen. It's lovely however and only change that square if it bothers you.

What a beauty! I am not sure I would fix the open block either, suz.

If it really bothers you, then take that one block out and fix it. But there are so many variations of blocks in that pattern, it doesn't really feel like a mistake. It looks like a happy, uplifting quilt. Nice job!
