Go for it!
Go for it!
to that measure. you will have to adjust other areas also, but just measure them but use your own PM (personal measure).
also double-check other original measures. it is easy sometime to look at 1/8" line instead of 1/2", etc. Finish it for the practice & then give to a charitable project. some of them will just take the
tops & you don't have to do backing, quilting, etc. smitty

I must say...ordinarily this pattern doesn't do much for me BUT remember, I'm not good when it comes to scrappy quilts. They scare me personally. However, that being said, I "LOVE" the fabrics you used and the sashing and reeeeally think you should finish it. It's great.

Should I chuck this one or finish it? nothing seemed to be lining up.

Patrice gave you good advice--if you really want to just dump it, then do it!
Having said that, I have been there many, many times. If you finish it, you'll have the satisfaction of having done it--that means you win, not the quilt, no matter how awful it is. And it will probably turn out better than you thought it would. I'm convinced that a good longarm quilter can turn any sow's ear into a silk purse!
