    If they are not all made....then make some the right way and alternate them!

    I'd take the 4 patches off and switch them. But, I think you can take the ones from the bottom, and flip them to be able to use them for the top part - so maybe you would not have to rip those out.

    Don't you hate it when that happens. If you rip it out be carefull not to stretch it. Good luck.

    I agree. Changing the center strip will require half the ripping.

    I would rip out the center block instead of the geese. Would not have as much to rip out that way. Love your block though and sorry you are having to rip....

    I only hate those mistakes when I first find them.. Then of course I have to take more time deciding what to rip.. or if I want to just make a design change.. Once I start ripping I am no longer bothered by it. . After everything is said and done, we all know that ripping is just one part of this great hobby.. If you never have to rip you're a better quilter than anyone on the board, or you just don't care! Whatever you decide to do will be just fine.

    Oh darn, I have done that and not caught the mistake until the quilt was all made.
    I am one that would take the 4 patches off and switch them around ..but it is your quilt and your design. Sometimes little oppes are happy accidents that make beautiful quilts.
    Can't wait to see what it looks like done. Love the colors BTW.

    If you take the center block apart and turn it 1/4 turn and sew seams vertically, you will only have 1/2 the seams (be they longer) to rip. Although, then some of the seams might not run the same direction throughout the quilt.
    Sorry for your misfortune of having to deal with the ripper.
