    I'm going to reach for the seam ripper today too. The blocks are made correctly, but don't like the color combinations I made, so will ripe it ALL apart and use fabric for another quilt.

    I don't see how. They are beyond hope. They aren't square and if I try to square them up I'll be cutting of points. Lots of points. There is to be appliqued fruit also. I thought that was going to be the challenging part as I've never done any. Tell me if I"m nuts to try that. So if the applique goes well in the big set in triangles, I thought about appliqueing a piece or two of fruit in the corner blocks. Or if all else fails, just slap on some borders and call it done.

    Been there. Had a beer saved for the next day. Was afraid if I tried to use ripper, I'd just rip it all. Took few more beers and a few more days before I touched it again.

    Had to laugh at your saying "So mad I could just spit" Been there done that and said that old saying. Good luck taking them apart.

    If you have completed tht many wrong and can figure out how to continue making the same mistake, keep making it and you will have created something different. froggyintexas

    I'm so pleased to hear that others make the same silly mistakes that I do. It seems that whenever I take on a project, there are always moments where I make these kinds of mistakes. One time, I would like to do a project without having to use the seam ripper. :-)

    Annoying for sure. Be careful not to poke a hole in the fabric (ask how I know about that).
