I totally agree.

Looks lovely, perhaps can be adjusted in places by adding rectangular blocks here and there?

I love the colours, though! I hope you can make it work, it sure will be pretty!

Ditto this. Did you cut the same size pieces? It is fixable though.

I LOVE these blocks! This is nothing that a little creative sashing and borders couldn't fix. Keep us posted on what you decide to do.

It seems that rows 2 and 3 match up pretty well, and it's rows 1 and 4 that are a bit wonky. Therefore, I would call it intentional creative license, and tell everyone that you planned for it to be that way - thinking outside the box!

been there. rip out the last 2 rows and adjust so that the sashing lines up. theres always room for more love in that quilt. that is how I view my mistakes lol

I think the blocks are really pretty, and as much as we never like to rip out, I really would with that one. One other thing that OI would change, I'd do another color for the sashings. I think that dark blue adds to the uneven look. I noticed too that on the first row, right end, it looks like that seam wasn"t deep enough, maybe that got things going wonky. Other than that, the blocks look perfect!!

Looks like a couple of the quilts I have made. I Worked real hard on the blocks and then got in a hurry putting them together. I am sure you will rescue those beautiful blocks .
Then you can show a before and after picture. :)
