You are a trooper!
I would have tossed the whole thing and bought new table toppers in her colors and used a die machine to make the cuts. I won't get stressed unless it's a have to time and never ever will over a quilt.

I hate shopping for clothing also and if I can get it out of the way at first shop, I just pay the bill and get outta there. whole different story when it comes to fabric.
think I must have been channeling what all of you were saying last night while I slept. Got up this morning, picked apart one the of diamond units, cut down the diamond, re-sewed and measured with my breath held--it worked and I have points!! So after going with my daughter shopping for a nephew's wedding (where I also told her she might get the quilt on her 2nd anniversary!), I plopped in the recliner, with a glass of wine, and started ripping. I'm sure glad I heavy starched the fabric so it's not losing shape! So as of now, I have 100 un-sewn---only 300 left to go! Promise to post pictures once I get the top together.
One positive today--I found a great dress for the wedding, plus shoes--both on sale and at the first store we went to--which for someone who hates to shop (except for fabric)this felt like a huge victory!!

Makes me glad I bought a John Flynn laser cut kit. And I'm registered for his class at the Houston International Quilt Festival in October. If I make the class, I'll get all his tips and tricks, then get to make the kit I bought at last year's Festival.
