Oooopsies!!!On the comment posting and on the quilt...You'll really cherish and enjoy all the elbow grease that went into it.
Dawn I saw your shout out a few days ago! I was so jazzed. I emailed you at the hotmail account on your profile. I can be found at mascanlon49@hotmail.com. And I'm so sorry about the triangles..it could have been worse, diamonds that would never ever go back together right!
I've done the sewing the triangles wrong, too. More than once. And sometimes I've even sewed, ripped, and then turned around and did it again on the other side. I'm not sure if I've done 120 at one sitting, tho. I'll share a little tip with you. Sew two or three, then once their out from under the presser foot and dangling off the back of your machine, pull the sewed ones around and take a peek. If you've sewn them wrong, you have caught it long before you've put 120 together and only have a few to rip. It saves me pulling out hairs as I rip out seams.
Ummm, can you make an upside down quilt? ;)
Uh-oh!!! could you not of tried to change the pattern so they were meant to go the wrong way??? You are a better person than me - think I would of binned it or hidden it rather than unpick it, oh and I would of cried and needed chocolate!!
I'm so sorry girl! I know it is going to look awesome when you are finished!
