I hate to mention this, after your struggles, but it sounds like you want this to be "just right".
And I think you would sooner know now, then after the next border is on, or worse, when totally finished.
Bottom left of the pumpkin, should that one be a HST, the same as the bottom right?
Sorrrrrryyyyyyyyyy!

It would take me longer to appliqué something on there than to make a HST and fix the mistake. I can understand how frustrated you must be but your wall hanging is so cute and you’ll enjoy it for years. Persevere!!

I feel your pain, because I do the same thing with patterns. You'll have that last "mistake" fixed in no time and you'll be able to enjoy the finished quilt soon. Very nice work...worth all the frogging.

To all who responded....I actually had the half square triangle that should have been used already made...somehow it got knocked to the floor and wasn't seen. The solid square was replaced yesterday afternoon. Not sure about using the plaid material in the photo yet...maybe an orange and black order and the plaid for a backing. For those interested this is where I found the pattern … even has a PDF! https://www.thepatternbasket.com

It is really cute. I learned the hard way to take pictures of my quilts before they were quilted. I have a couple with blocks turned the wrong way that I didn’t notice until they were on a bed. I love your pumpkin and crow. That will be a very easy fix!

I came really close to admitting defeat and throwing it in the trash can. Thought I had prevailed, until I looked at it....very obvious mistake. Now where is my seam ripper??[ATTACH=CONFIG]618750[/ATTACH]
