If you applique you will appreciate this.....after spending many hours getting this far, I cut off too much fabric and ruined the piece. If you look at the bottom, that is how the top should look too. My marks were rubbing off and I was not paying attention.
I couldn't bring myself to redo it right now so I started on another one. I may save that block for last, maybe even try to fix it.
I also made 2 more potholders that I am not even going to show. Yes they are for another bridal shower this weekend. My next project? Pocket squares, the fun never ends......

oh, bummer. Every appliquer just felt your pain.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, Just makes you sick. The blocks are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't see it but then I've only had one coffee today. I really love seeing your red blocks.
ReplyDeleteDarn, darn, darn. I hate it when I've done unthinking stuff like that. Take heart. It really does happen to the best of us.
ReplyDeleteOh no. I am so sorry. I took a Hawaiian applique class and while carefully cutting out my piece I cut off a huge hunk that was supposed to be there. Hate when that happens.
ReplyDeleteYou will make it work I bet.
Happy 4th
Hey we all do things like that! But it sure smarts when we do! Have a safe and happy Fourth!

You could use that block as a label on the back. Or applique a bird over it :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these blocks, so sorry I think we all have done this. glad you went on to another block right away. Kathie
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! I'm crying with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm chuckling here. I would've kept the mistake and added a few more wild moments! Good luck!
ReplyDeletebest from Tunisia,

Your idea to put it away for awhile and do something else is a great one! Maybe the red fabric will expand with age!! LOL
ReplyDeleteKEEP IT KELLY!!
ReplyDeleteThis is what we love to see in authentic antique quilts.
We are humans, making beautiful things with human hands - keep it, I'm begging :)
Oh Oh….I'm handing you a big ole cryin' towel right now!! I have looked and looked at the pattern….wooooo, looks scary to me. How do you keep it all flat while you are working on it. Do use glue all under your piece? Girl, you are brave and pretty darn good….I.Like it!!
