I really wish I had goofed by just adding the sashing on the wrong side. SInce the rectangle had an odd number of rows turning it around would have still left spots in the upper left corner instead of the upper right corner. Drats! I like your solution for your sideways piece. Very clever. I once put a top border on "upside down" but did not notice it until after the quilting had been done. My daughter, bless her soul, said "Mom, I thought you did that intentionally so the the top border had the same orientation as the bottom border. It really is a design decision whether to match or mirror image." I am just lucky it was not a side border I flipped. I could not have drummed up a reasonable excuse for that being a "design decision".DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-2357985353364831322015-05-18T16:42:50.266-07:002015-05-18T16:42:50.266-07:00It is odd how that one mistake just leaps out at y...It is odd how that one mistake just leaps out at you if you leave it there. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I think a quilter's prayer should be "May your mistakes be so small that you cannot see them or so big that you catch them early on".DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-25391480405388090802015-05-16T22:36:33.187-07:002015-05-16T22:36:33.187-07:00Fun checker boards!!

It looks like your block just got turned before adding the sashing. I just did this with one of two central panel blocks (kind of like a log cabin design with many layers) of a quilt with directional fabric i the middle. I had the whole thing put together and my husband noticed it. I actually just ripped out the seams for the inner piece that was sideways and tucked it back in and topstitched it down on both sides of where there was no longer a seam. Since I was planning to do topstitch/straight line quilting around all the layers of the block anyway, this held the piece down securely without ripping the whole quilt apart. I do think it will hold. I will be posting pictures once it has been given to it's recipient in about 6 weeks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823704989003959074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828752146646515017.post-22325258374785022322015-05-13T12:02:36.788-07:002015-05-13T12:02:36.788-07:00So lovely!

Otherwise, I will always just stare at that one "mistake." Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458341169251653916noreply@blogger.com
