I got around to putting together MY queen quilt. (For anyone that follows my scattered quilting projects, that would be the 'City Blocks' one charm pack wonder, embellished with teal, and B&W...)
HST blocks all squared off and sashed. BIG blocks, mind you. (15 1/2"). I get to ROW 3, and at the end of the row, I am OFF, by a third of an inch, I'm guessing. WTH!!?
Now I am not a perfectionist. I let a couple of things slide the first two ROWS...
I frogged twice, maybe three times with ROW 3. I was hoping the 'feed dogs' would straighten me out.
AH, NO....
I walked away for nearly half a week. And then the 'light bulb' moment occurred. Thank you, Captain Obvious!
A miss-cut on a SASH, (maybe 1/4" or so).
Someone was looking out for me! It's at the END of the row....
JEEZ. Sometimes you just have to laugh.
Happy Quilting, my friends!
