    Default can you see it? what should I do?

    I made this quilt top a while back and was just getting back to it to sandwich and quilt......put it on my design wall as a I went so I wouldn't get any of the half-square triangles mixed up. Did buy the background fabric using fat quarters. I don't want to undo the last 3 rows of stripes and re-cut the background from the correct remaining fat quarters I have that I plan to use as binding, so I was thinking of taking the last 2 rows off and inserting them in between rows so it looks like it is deliberate? what do you think?

    The photo is very small for me to see it well. Is that a defect in the fabric color at the end of the rows? I don't think it will look deliberate even if you space it in. Gosh I don't know what I'd do.

    I do see the issue. If it bothers you I might just undo and replace the triangles in that one row, then the last 2 rows may look better.

    Maybe if you use both colors for your binding it would look ok. Use the lighter on the one end and down the sides just beyond where the color changes

    Is it sun fading? Great top and I think I would fix it or make it smaller.

    Why not cut it out and insert an animal, or design something else using the same color pieces. You could turn it towards the top left, and then make a star as if it is throwing the pieces into the quilt. Keep thinking, maybe you can come up with something better then what I suggested. Good luck.

    I love the colors in your quilt!

    If it were mine, I'd remove the last 2 rows and move them.

    Follow YOUR intuition!

    How about removing one row and adding it to the top, that way you have the same at both ends......I think.......if I'm seeing things correctly..)

    I'd make it look like a design choice and randomly insert the offending rows elsewhere if it really bothered me.

    Would a black silhouette of something cover it as a design on the quilt. Not sure exactly where you are having problems with.
    I would undo and try to fix. If it upsets or disturbs you enough to ask advise on here and log a picture you are too uncomfortable with it and need to fix.
