Rip and Flip

I should have named this Blog "Vicki's Quilting MISTAKES!"  Sigh.  My Around the World quilt was looking beautiful, and I was all set to back it and bind it.  One final check before I started revealed a startling truth!  Some of the white squares were sewn in upside down!  16 to be exact.  Ohhhh I was heartsick!  So much work had to be redone.

It wasn't very noticeable, but I knew it and had to fix it.  My seam ripper got a good workout, and each upside down square was carefully ripped out and flipped over.  Ironed and re-sewn.  I was worry that now the edges would be stretched, or the corners wouldn't match, but that was all for naught.  It looked perfect again after it was fixed, but it was VERY time consuming

I hope people who read this will learn from my mistakes and save themselves some trouble.
Today's lesson:  Beware of fabrics where it is hard to tell the front from the back!   PAY ATTENTION!  My only consolation is that I discovered this error BEFORE I  bound and quilted the quilt!  Ripping seams is bad enough, but ripping out quilting, binding and then seams, unthinkable!
