Googled Shadowplay quilt & that is one awesome quilt. Looks pretty difficult though. God Bless you for trying & making such an effort. Don't be so hard on yourself. I agree with gollytwo, only God is perfect & we all learn from our mistakes (I prefer to say misguided efforts). I would put it away for a week or so & move on to something else & then go back to it & see if you can see it in a slightly less critical light. Good luck to you.Let us know how you make out.

Jan, I think that if you post some pictures someone here should be able to help. I can't even imagine how many years of experience are here, nor can I imagine throwing it out with out giving them a try.

Things that I screw up go in my scrap box to be used later. I have quite a collection! Don't give up as you will find a use for it in the future. I would not throw them away. Good luck.

Well shame on me. I just googled Shadowplay and no, no amount of sashing would work.

Put some shashing around each block and then you don't have to worry that the blocks align. Why toss good fabric. Surely you can use it to cover up with or give to someone who could use it.

I put quilts in Time Out when they don't behave. Have one there now that's been in Time Out since about March. Need to have it finished in November so about time to pull it out. Seems every time I allow a quilt top out of Time Out it behaves so much better.

Be comforted in the idea that we have all been where you are. Your top is coming together wonderfully - I'm impressed at your stick-to-it-ness!

nope, sashing wouldn't have worked, but it sure doesn't look like you needed it!!! I love the comment about putting a quilt on time out....never thought of it that way, I do the same thing.....and she's right they behave much better when you take them back out!!! I just did the same thing with a block of the month I was working on with a lot of HST, I literally balled it up and through it....waited a week or so and went at it again and it worked just fine!!
