Today I have taken some very lovely fabric and made a wonky mess! I am going to try to regroup and salvage "something" from this... I am NOT going to be disappointed, (I am not, not, not), but will consider this a learning experience....

Good for you! Keep chuggin' like the little train! Have fun.

i don't think that there are many of us that have not done that. The main think is to just keep going. Good Luck. BrendaK

Well, what did you do? Maybe you just created another masterpiece! Or a new craze!!

When I make a mess of cutting fabric I just keep in mind it's just fabric and I recut to different size or stick in scrap bin and forget it.

When I do that I put it aside for a while. When I get back to it either the problem isn't as bad as I thought or I've come up with a solution to save the project. Got a couple of these simmering on the back burner right now.

So - what did you do?

Whatever it was - it's unlikely that you were the first - or will be the last - to do it.

Yup, we 'wanna know what you did! I've probably done it myself, mistakes are how we learn.

I do this too. Sometimes someone on here our some other website will have an answer and the light bulb comes on for me. But I know how disappointing it can be and I sure don't like to waste fabric. Of course, I don't waste much because almost anything can be recut to make something else.

Nope, you're not the only one. I'm working on a quilt for my SIL - third and last design. It's made using the old cotton shirts of his two sons (he's very sentimental). Thought I had it finished, started sandwiching and discovered that one side is about 2 inches longer than the other. ARGHHH!

Thank goodness that someone had the good sense to invent seam rippers....
