Oh yes! It was a paper-pieced quilt for my sister I was working on a few years ago. That quilt fought me every step of the way until I finally dubbed it "the quilt that didn't want to be made"! :lol: But I won the battle and did get it finished and she loves it, but it will always live in my mind as the one that nearly drove me over the quilting edge! :icon_eek:Quote:

Good luck with this. I wish I could suggest an answer, but I am not experienced enough to know the shortcuts.
FWIW that is an absolutely gorgeous quilt!! I am sure when you finish it you will be glad you stuck with it!
Ummmm, crisis averted?
I just went downstairs to remeasure everything to figure out what I did wrong. When I measured the middle panel I used a ruler that counts up both ways. So when I apparently I was looking at the wrong number when measuring and everything is alright.
Sheesh, I would like to say I am embarrassed, but I m a little dramatic when it comes to quilting. I love it so much. So when it doesn't come out I am a little crushed.
Anyway, lesson learned...
1) do not make important quilt altering measurements at 930 pm.
2) walk away and take a break before you make a bigger mistake.
Thanks everyone!
(ok I am a little embarrassed!)
glad it all worked out for you. Sometimes walking away and looking at it again another day is all it takes.
That was an AHA moment!! LOL
I'm glad you found what you did wrong...because looking at your quilt...I can't see anything wrong with it! It is beautiful!
Glad the crisis was averted, your quilt is going to be beautiful!!
Please post pics when it's complete. :)
I have really looked hard at your quilt and can't see anything wrong with it. This is a gorgeous quilt!
Thanks, but that isn't my quilt, it's just the pattern. I posted it to show what I thought was my problem. But it's fixed now!Quote:

Nothing was right, wrong pieces together , right side to wrong side sewn together.. I thought how could it have looked so good last night... well that was my answer NIGHT... I am a morning person.. LOL lesson learned.Quote:
