Have you done this too?

Have a family member who hasn't seen the quilt before look at it. They will see things like that right away.
Lots of great comments here. You will appreciate the quilt much better once you fix the strip. :D

I have some plastic block markers that my sister gave me. I always pin them in the same place on the block. Upper left corner. If you had something like that, even a piece of paper, it might jump up at you and say "hey we should be in the other direction".

I have done this so much and ripped so often, that now as I put a finished block on the design board, I pin a sticky note saying which row & which block # it is. And I take a block at a time to sew them together, making sure that I am getting them in the right order. It takes a little longer but it saves time on the ripping. :wink:

I always ask my husband to look at things as I progress, he has an eye for "uh oh's" because he has not been on top of it.
When I get as far as you have on a project and discover how much I need to rip out, I want to throw the whole thing away:thumbdown: until I calm down enough to begin the ripping out process.
