Sorry you made this mistake, glad you caught it before you sewed them.

I hate it when I do that so I don't pin. I sew one piece at a time. that way if I screw up, I know it right away.

Been there done that but had sewn them all together before I noticed the blocks weren't fitting right.
Unpinning is a lot easier than ripping out. But just as annoying.

I was finishing my last BOM and putting them in the proper order by lOoking at the ill. And realized that I pieced the star wrong. Had to taKe it apart and redo it. At least I noticed it before the blocks were all sewn together. Had one that I didn't notice the mistake until after it was completed for about a year!

I was working on double sawtooth star sections and sewed
5 of them together backwards before I realized it. I chain pieced them with my Singer 201 treadle.
I had to frog stitch(rip it rip it) and try again.

Take a deep breath, relax and kick back with the frog. :-) I am so sorry. God bless. Penny

I know this is no consolation, but at least you noticed after sewing one set - it could have been all of them! Have you ever considered doing them all backwards and call it "your inside out" quilt?
