    Oops, 2 hrs of fabric waste, lol. See my pins pointing to the boo-boo? 1/4" off on the left, 1" off on the right just out of the frame. Gotta redo all of my horizontal sashing but not tonight, I think I'm too tired to be piecing, I had to rip 3 times already sewing wrong sides together :roll: Glad it's just a baby size quilt.

    Frustrating ain't it! It will be well worth the effort though. That is going to be one beautiful quilt when you are done!

    Maybe the quilt elves will fix it while you sleep.
