Looks really good to me terriamn. Sorry you've had one of those hard days. Sometimes you just have bad days where you just have to slow down, walk away for a bit and then come back. Usually a bit of a break helps & you come back with a new perspective. Don't be too hard on yourself.

too!
Terri, I think I need a new magnifying glass to see any out of kilter spots! Looks lovely to me, your perseverance paid off.

Boy oh boy, lately I have been thinking of giving up on quilting. How can you cut everything the right size, sew with a scant 1/4" and points just won't match up? Seems like that has been happening way to much lately and I am really discouraged. Made this bonus block for Moon and took it apart 3 times and it still doesn't match.

All in all, your blocks look great, but it sounds like you are a perfectionist like me!

Terri, it looks like some of your units might be a bit too big. Try taking a little bit more than a scant 1/4" in your seams. Too small a seam can also make your points come out too close to an edge, where they will be lost in the next seam.
All in all, your blocks look great, but it sounds like you are a perfectionist like me!

Totally usable and pretty in a quilt. Just send it and move on!I do a lot of seam adjusting, resewing and picking, but mostly its for my blocks to come out the right size rather than have seams and points line up. Your points inside the flying geese blocks are beautiful!
