Lois--I have been looking at that Q for over a month. I think it is going to have to go, we will see.

That's probably enough overnight's to tell whether or not you like it. Go at it with the ripper. You'll be happier in the end. How often have you heard, "I don't have the patience to be a quilter." That's balogna! We are impatient until we get the results we want. I think quilting requires impatience.

suehenyon OFFLINE Posts: 1796 Thank you received: 51	I'm laughing, Ritzy. The seam-ripper has become my true friend, but at least the final seams are close to accurate. You are not alone! I just re-worked the T block and re-assembled July. Oops, yours is half-sized, right? Funny how we can't tell from the pictures!

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	I do not have July quilted all the way yet--the reason--I think there is too much green in the group. I am considering changing the color of the "Q". I think that would help a lot. I am dreading the rip out and the remaking of the "Q". August blocks are made and put together but after ripping out every seam, at least once, I decided to stop.
