One of the rules of quilting. Measure twice cut once.
Well there is another unspoken rule: Don't flip the fabric.
My own pattern, mind you and I tell myself each time a cut, don't flip the fabric.
Oops - I did it. Discovered my mistake half way through cutting one of my strips.
The half squares on the left are wrong only because while cutting the sewn strips I flipped the fabrics, which resulted in the fabrics are now in the wrong place to be attached to the other half square triangle - the ones on the right are correct.
Lucky for me there is enough fabric to correct this mistake. And lucky I only did it once during the cutting and construction of this quilt.
Five of seven rows completed.
If I stick with it (without making anymore mistakes) I should have this ready to be quilted by tomorrow sometime.
The ones that are now a mistake, go to my stash to be used in something in the future.
