    It has been a thorn in my side too and I finally had to put it aside as Guild things came up and needed doing , also best friends 50th. Wedding anniversary, so, I still have step 4 and 5 to do. I am just not really pleased with the whole thing, but have too much invested in it to just toss it all, so it will get done sometime...God willing.

    I know your pain, I have been working on mine for months, have to put it down and go to something else. I had trouble understanding some of the directions and had to do several sets of blocks over. They still don't fit as good as they should, but I am tweaking areas and am going to finish it if it takes a year.

    Must have been the lack of a good wine!

    I've had quilts that have given me hissy fits more than once. Right now I'm heading to the finish line on a family reunion quilt - I thought I had all the blocks squared away, but. When I thought I was finished, I laid the quilt out and found one block had a mistake, so I un-sewed the block, then laid it out to figure out what border fabric to use and my DH finds another block with a mistake. Shucks. Well, guess I'll have to un-sew that block and hope I don't find any more. I'd get more wine, put the quilt away for a day or two and start again. The quilt should be beautiful when it's done and thankfully my oldest niece will quilt it on her long arm for the July 4th reunion in KS. So, I put it away for right now and will fix it later today. Hang in there, it will all work out in the end, it happens to all of us. You have a beautiful quilt in the making.

    It seems that when I first started quilting I read somewhere that years ago quilters always made a mistake in their quilts to show that only God was perfect. I always think of that when I've made a big mistake, but put the quilt together anyhow. I don't need perfect, but I do need done. Yours is a lovely quilt and I think you should finish it
    boo-boos and all.

    It's so pretty! Don't give up. Take a break and let your mind process everything. Don't wait too long and go back to it. Things will be better.
