Super Hero Wedding Quilt - I might be crazy!
A Little back story, I'm getting married in July - and we are having superheros in our wedding (no we aren't dressing up as them) but because I'm a quilter, and love sewing I wanted to find a way to incorporate a quilt into the wedding. We are having everyone rsvp with scraps of fabric that I'm going to use for a DWR portion of the quilt. But the rest of the quilt I'm including all the superheroes. I'm starting the quilt now (or last week) But figured I'd use this thread to post pictures of how it is coming along. I made a lot of the patterns myself, so be patient some of it is trial and error.
I'm including the plans/and idea along with what I've gotten done so far.
One question and maybe someone might know. Any thoughts on fixing the top so they line up? the top row of the pattern some how ended up too big on both sides? Thoughts??

You could go inside your current seams on the top row and sew another seam beside it just to take up some of the space. You would have to make sure you do it the right places so you can line up the blocks with those on the next row. I did this one time when my wife and I were both sewing rows of a quilt. Her quarter inch is wider than mine, so my rows were longer. It worked fine and no one can tell the difference.

It's a paperpieced pattern I made, and I'm spot on with the lines.. its weird. I was doing so well. I got two more rows done last night and they are a tiny bit off but not enough to notice.
As far as going in the current seems, I was thinking the same thing, just so worried about messing up the whole pattern, But probably the best solution that I can think of.
Thanks guys!!
