What would you do?

I can't believe I messed up with the directions of the blue squares. I was looking at the completed quilt of Bonnie's, but decided it would be easier to follow the EQ picture so I think in doing that I got confused. I started with the black square and have the strips pointing towards them. I should have started with the white squares and had the strips pointing to them. Can you see what I'm talking about? How do you think that will effect the outcome of the total look? I'm thinking I'm not concerned enough to rip and resew. It's only two rows but I'm still working on the steps which I didn't finish before sewing the rows together. I'm struggling with the repetitive small pieces and need to just get this finished and move on. Have several tops I need to get quilted and another quilt for a friend that I want to finish. I think this is what is making me so restless and finding it hard to finish up. I'm making it a lap size also or I know I'd give up. Bonnie says no whining, but I sure am! LOL

Allets, I think that as long as you are consistent, it won't make any difference. Who knows, we may all like your version much better! It's such a subtle change that I would not start over if I were you.
|
Allets, Your quilt is going to be beautiful!!! The pattern that Bonnie designed this time is so busy that I would not rip and change it. Noone said that our quilts have to be exactly like Bonnie's. I know there were some people on yahoo that were talking about using the pieces and designing their quilts the way they want them.
|
Allets your quilt will be beautiful just the way it is! No one, but you, will know it was suppose to be put together with the blues going the opposite way. So what, it does not matter!
|
Difference is only very subtle Allets. I wouldn't change it unless it REALLY bothers you.

Allets, I arranged my string blocks the same way you did yours as I liked it this way, well, initially it was by accident (but I will deny that later,lol) but then I thought it looked nice, and as long as you are consistent, I think it works this way too.

Tada!!!! The center of my Orca Bay is finished :) Or is it? I need to make the quilt bigger...like 30'' wider and 20'' longer and I have been playing around my EQ trying to find a pleasing border combination and nothing is jumping out at me. So I am thinking, even though I don't really want to,lol, I am going to make more blocks..unless I can think of a border idea. Right now though I am tired of this quilt and no even sure I like it, so I am going to keep thinking on it while I work on a different project.
