Don't know what you decided, but by doing the random thing, you at least can practice your 1/4" seams.

had to chuckle! Even the most experienced and expert quilters can relate. Sometimes when these bquilts are finished, they could become some of your favourites. Soldier on

when I get to that point, I just resolve myself to start anew. Cut the previous one into manageable pieces and make a bunch of mug rugs!! LOL!!

In everything we do we have moments like this. Even our husbands / friends / children etc, have moments. The very best advice I can offer is to walk away from it for today. Go back tomorrow with fresh eyes and you will be surprised at how easily things will fall together. Being the quilting is new to me, I only have experience in sewing clothes, and crafts. However, I have to walk away sometimes. Even when DH is working on a M/C I can hear him cursing and tell him the same thing. Walk away and tomorrow will be better. He says he has to just get the words in the right order and things will be fine. lol. Best of luck and be sure to post what you decide to do. I personally like your idea!

Best of luck

Your learning as you go, do what you want. We've all been there, it's just part of the process. I opt to putting it away until the urge strikes you again.

And if you still don't like it when you get it put back together, cut it in creative ways, piece back together for a totally different look! How else did someone come up with D9P or 4-to-9P? You are getting a super opportunity to be creative! Who knows, in a few months we may all be copying what you are working on now just cuz it's so cool :thumbup: :thumbup:

I kinda did that making split 9P (didn't know there was a "way" to do it) and ended up with a bowtie looking split 9P and I really like it!!!
