I finished the first charity quilt for the breast cancer campaign in October. Everything went well for the quilt until it was completely done. One of the corners is a smidgen off. By smidgen, it's more like almost a 1/4 inch. Driving me crazy. But, most of the other blocks in the row match up so I'm not too sure how I would go about fixing this unless I add more to one column of blocks to push the white strip to the left a little to line up. Or, I can reduce the size of the white strip a smidgen maybe.
I forgot how difficult it was to add a strip and then continue to line up the blocks on either side of that strip. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Here's the problem corner and then the full quilt top. I'm also a little disappointed with the white fabric. It's a little see through. I'm concerned that when I put the yellowish natural batting behind it, the quilt top will lose it's crisp white strips.

| 2012 Quilt Top - Needs a little ironing. |
This week, time to figure out the layout for the second quilt top and get moving on that. Then, we are in the waiting game again for some tests completed on Friday for DH. After 2.5 years of remission, it's still a roller coaster ride. Keep your fingers crossed the bone marrow test comes back just "naturally" low.
Thanks for stopping by!
