D'oh!
I'm underway for my November goal project, and all I can say is d'oh!
Well, for whatever silly reason, I had a spot of trouble cutting my diamonds.
My first cuts are the top pile. I cut the diamonds at 5.5" wide. All the rest in the larger pile to the right, well, I cut them at 4.5". D'oh! Not to mention - the one lone piece at the bottom, I cut that one at 4.25". Sheesh.
At least it's not the end of the world kind of mistake, I can easily trim the over sized ones down. The too skinny one may even work, provided I sew it to a column end where it will be squared up anyway. What a goofy thing to do.
Luckily I realized my mistake before I started piecing everything. Onto my favorite and least favorite part - arranging the diamonds on the design wall. I only fuss with things like this for hours. Wish me luck!
Best,
Heather

I love the colors! The combinations are cool. I'm interested how the pattern develops once you get it on the design board. I'll bet it's going to be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when I cut stuff wrong like that! Glad to hear you can salvage it. The fabric is darling.
ReplyDeleteLike those fabrics, and good recovery! I say just go with it - it may turn out different than planned but beautifully!
