Well after I took the quilt apart and re-organized everything (thinking I had miss marked something) and sewing it back together guess what SAME PROBLEM! Went over the pattern with a fine tooth comb and marked the lay out with a number/letter system for each piece.... The pattern was wrong.
I took apart just a couple of sections of the quilt top ( I was NOT taking the whole thing apart again) and fixed it. That's not the way I like to do things BUT!
Well I have everything done now except the last border.... I can't wait for it to be done.
The worst thing is this quilt is the 1st project I am making for a local quilt shop as a shop model and wanted my best work to show. I did let them know about the pattern error and that I hope it meets with their standards. I think sometimes it shows when a quilt has been ripped and resewed and ripped and resewed. I did feel better when they told me another quilter who was doing another shop model for them had the same problem.... SAME PATTERN COMPANY but different pattern.
I will try to take a picture and post.

Back on Track
Well I am now back on track with the quilt.
I have pinned each row so I didn't mess up again.
Now taking a lunch break and then back to sewing.

Rip It, Rip It, Rip It
I have spent several hours unsewing about 2/3s of a quilt. Not at all how I wanted to spend my night. And I was soooo proud of how the quilt was coming together. THEN I find I don't have the block sets I need but have several block sets in the wrong color way avail. Not sure where I got off track. BUT I now have every little tiny thing marked and have the pattern grid also marked so I hope I don't go crazy again. I will post photo when I have the top done.

To Honor My Mother
I always said I would never get a tattoo......
But my daughters and I decided we would get a
Lily for Lillie (my Mom)
to honor her on her birthday which was yesterday.
This is mine. It does look much better now that
the redness is all gone.
I'm sure she was looking down and laughing her
you know what off.
Happy Birthday Mom
Love and Miss You
