In the name of total transparency I am having so many issues with The Split Herringbone Quilt, nothing is going right and I have taken the thing apart way to many times!!
I assembled each row together and for some reason they are different lengths - by inches!!
Added to that when I sewed them together with the sashing it all went wonky! When I folded it it looked like this >>>>
At least I realized why this happened (after a lot of swearing)
When I sewed the rows to the sashing I must have pulled to hard and the cuts on the bias stretched... and just like that a fucked up quilt.
I have had to take a loooonnnngggg break from this quilt top because it was frustrating me so bad.
I think I have it fixed now but who the hell knows.
I added some extra length to the short rows, starched/pressed the crap out of the stretched edges and prayed to the god of sewing.
I am honestly dreading squaring this quilt top and that has never happened before - its kinda taken the joy out of sewing which sucks.
