It looks perfect in the picture but one edge is 3/8" from the seam and the others were bigger. When I trimmed it up so they would all be the same I destroyed any perfection there was there. Being the optimist I am, I went on and tried to attached the lattice and then it was really noticeable. So, I got online and after much searching I found the fabric. It will get here and I will get caught up eventually.

ajclapp OFFLINE Posts: 727 Thank you received: 263	Can we see a picture? Maybe you can use a quilting pattern that will camouflage the crooked lines. But if you're truly not happy with it it's sometimes best to start over instead of liking it less and less as you proceed.

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Well, my problem just got bigger. I guess the real problem is I am a perfectionist. I sewed my lattice borders on (they fit) and saw that the lines in my fabric were not straight. It is really obvious and I am not willing to let it go. The fabric I used and really, really liked, I don't have enough of to make the corners over. I haven't, yet, been able to find it online.
