Got half way through on a project and realized wrong thread and color. No bobbin thread. Had been a long day so I just stopped and left it alone for couple days.

Yes I've done that, and then did it again after ripping it and re-doing! Quilting can be challenging for my old brain at times

Yep, sometimes my seam ripper is my best friend. I keep one in my sewing room and my family room when I need to rip several blocks. At least I can watch TV while ripping! Come to think of it, I had to use my seam ripper just the other night. Nothing worst than looking at the big pile of thread after ripping several blocks.

I agree. It is REALLY bad when you do it on a Bargello quilt with the strip sets that are an inch wide. YIKES!!

how well I know, but that's not s bad as what I did. I sewed, after I'd used the seam ripper, them back together the wrong way again. ugh.

Oh I feel for you but not toooo much. Yesterday i was finishing my on point blocks. got the second half of the quilt together and sewed to the main section. done. I thought. i trimmed the edges of the setting triangles but thought it looked weird. well it was. i'd put sashing strips and corner stones in between the pieced blocks but forgot them on six of the blocks. on the end of the "rows". sigh. Now i must rip out those triangles, add the sashings and reinsert the triangles and trim again. I do so wish i had room to lay things out where i could see them well!!!

I find chain piecing a challenge just for that reason. I usually take a picture of my design wall and keep it close so I get them in the right order. I also use something like a cookie sheet to put them on from my design wall to carry them over to my machine. Another thing that helps is to put a pin facing in the direction of the side I'm supposed to sew on. Usually one pin on the top one in the pile is enough to get me going.

I feel your pain. I did the same thing about 2 weeks ago. I ripped them all apart and sewed them back together the wrong way...three times!

Good luck.
