I cut out a few more Tokyo Subway Quilt Blocks this last week and got busy on Block #2 yesterday. I am really excited about this quilt and getting another block stitched up was a lot of fun. I love all the different patterns and fabrics going on here.
Please overlook the unsightly ironing board cover haha. That's another thing I need to add to my list of things to do. I guess it's from starch. I don't know what else it could be.
Here is the finished block and I love it!! However I have a little problem or actually a big problem. I was so excited to see what the two blocks look like together. So I skipped on over picked up Block #1 and put it next to this one.
What in the world happened? I thought I was being so careful when I did my cutting and I thought I was being so careful when I sewed them together. Making sure it was a 1/4". Obviously something has not gone quite right. What do I do know? :( Which one do I do over?
It kind of takes the wind right out of your sails. We learn from our mistakes so I will figure something out, but not today!I

Oh no! I'm so sorry Jan! Please dont be discourraged! They look great together already!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they are suppose to look so to me they are okay. I do like your solution to think about it tomorrow! LOL!! Okay girl, can we talk? You NEED a new ironing board cover. My sister picked up a super pretty one for me at Target for about 5 dollars. You will so enjoy working on something pretty!! It's amazing how it will make you so much more creative. LOL
ReplyDeleteA little easing, and a lot of steam and they will fit! Give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry...I know how you feel :( I hope you figure out what happened and can solve it.
ReplyDeleteI always tell myself "learn from the mistake" ..and it really irritates me when I do everything so well and then make mistake in the last few steps. :(
Your blocks look lovely though and may be you can use the block that's different from others for other projects :)
Love the quilt pattern!!
ReplyDeleteI think like quiltmania said ~ a little easing and stretching will do. I have almost all these blocks from a swap, I only need to make 3 to be finished. When I was making my blocks, I had the same issues, as long as it isn't TOO far off, it should work well enough to not notice, especially after quilting. A lot of quilting hides a lot of oops in my opinion.
ReplyDeletebummer...did another good pressing solve the problem? If not, I'd make block #3 & see which it matches...good luck!!
