If you are talking about the one strip of red, When placed with the other strips in the last pic. It lookes like it makes a border for the pink and looks good. I wouldn't take it out. Looks good the way it is.

Well, this past weekend, I bit the bullet, I started cutting the strips.
Then sewed the strips together..... and ironed all the seams in the same direction. Is that the correct way, the same direction? I hope so. Well, I've just cut strips again... I'm not using a pattern, I'm just wingin' it as I go.
I'm liking the look of it so far, not near as complicated as some of the beautiful bargello's I've seen posted here, but I'm pleased with how it's turning out so far.
I used the colors exactly how they were in the bundles, I see one that looks out of place, but thats where it was in the bundle, and I really dont want to unsew every strip to move it.
Any suggestions? Would you move it?
Thanks for looking!

don't touch a thing! Beautiful. I have tried to do this & had a terrible time, not mastering the pattern but in the cutting. I have never claimed to even be good - but I love quilting. And I couldn't find the color out of place either!
