True confession. What would you do-----if you were trimming the s.a. on the last miter using a ruler and cutter and CUT an uneven triangle out of the border!!! I usually use a scissors and trim one side of the seam at a time. This time I decided to use the ruler so the s.a. would be even as the background is light and the s.a. will shadow through. It has been a week since the dastardly deed was done. I cut off the end of the border and re-mitered it, but I have not felt like adding the corner applique as yet.

Fear of doing what you did often paralyzes me for weeks at the end of a project! My profound sympathies.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you won't want to finish the corner. It is very frustrating when you have so much good work only to make a mistake like this so near the end. I have done similar things with my projects. I want to just curl up and cry and I am discourage from finishing up. But, I am here to encourage you to get back up and finish the corner. I think that you will be surprised at how well the applique will cover the seams. A finished quilt is such a good feeling of accomplishment. BTW I would love to see a picture of how you fix the miter..is sound like something I would do and I would like to see your solution...Keep on appliqueing!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear Mary, is the corner OK now? Take a deep breath and keep going.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar story, I was trimming of the edge of the quilt after applying the binding, it was late at night and I didn't check if any of the quilt was under it. Sure enough, I cut through the middle of the quilt with the cutter. I ended up throwing the quilt away, it was pretty up salvageable. But I did learn a lesson though! K
Hang in there girl. Just sew it back together and keep going. We are only human.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the other comments
ReplyDeleteget back to it, once you fix it

Exactly! only you will know once finished..... and unfinished anyone who sees the quilt knows something is not right.... so on with the finish and do post back so we can cheer with you!!!!
