A Glaring Mistake and Rag #3

In my last post I shared a completed block from my little Americana quilt I was starting.  Well, now, let me just say, even after proofing my work, I did not catch a glaring mistake until just a few days ago!  Dolly, how could you not have pointed that out to me?!!   See this. . . . .



The bottom row is UPSIDE DOWN!   Good.  Night.  Nurse.  Good thing I know how to use a seam ripper!    This is how it's suppose to look . . . . .

 
 
Much better.  Much, much better.  And . . . . I've gotten a few done and sewn together.  Initially I was going to make it 3 blocks by 4 blocks, but it was too short.  So, I added a row.  Now it's too narrow. 

See my dilemma?

I'm mulling over adding a row down the side and making it 4 X 5.  But since July 4th is only two days away and I won't be finished by then, I'll just tuck this in a UFO pile and finish it after I've done Rag #3.  And speaking of Rag #3  . . . .


Ms. Pinkerton finally joined the set for Rag #3.  A couple of her co-stars were already here.  Now we just have to audition and sign on the remaining cast so we can get this show on the road!

Until then,
Sweet Dreams from the Land of Cotton
