Early morning sewing is really bad for me some days. This morning I was working on finishing up the last eight snails trail blocks and saw that I had made yet another error. I was putting on the last round of neutral and saw that they were sewn in the wrong position.
This is the way the block is supposed to look. But I found that I had sewn the light sections on the wrong sides so it was going to not make the swirl pattern. Thank goodness I discovered that before I put on the last of the blue. So with the front of the block facing away from me I started ripping out the seams. Again, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I didn't rip them all out at once, normally I would. It was almost time to start getting ready for work so I thought just do this one and you'll have one done. When I went to sew the neutral on in the right place it was going on in the SAME place. I had ripped out what was already okay. Out of the eight blocks I'm doing right now only one of them was done wrong. Whew, I about blew that. I think if I had ripped all eight of them out and then figured that out this would have ended up in a tote as another unfinished project. As of right now, I have the final blue pieces to put on these eight blocks. I also need to cut the setting triangles. Then I'll be ready to put it together.
I'll be glad when this top is in the done pile.
