Whose Bright Idea Was That?

In my last post I had found two mis-matched kaleidoscope corners that needed to be ripped out and reset.  No problem.  I identified the two bad corners and where they actually belonged.  I pinned a different colored pin on each corner (one red, one white) then pinned the matching color to the block where they needed to be attached.  I figured that way I wouldn't lose track of them again.  Next step:  iron the seams flat to make it easier to rip them out.  

I didn't pay close attention where the pins were and managed to press the iron directly over the pin.  It promptly melted and adhered itself to the fabric.

Seriously.  Why make pinheads that melt at the cotton setting?

Better yet - it was the red pin I managed to nail.  The fabric pulled off easily enough, however the color was clearly visible on the back of the fabric.  The front was much fainter - just pink enough to catch your eye (more so in person than in the photo). 

Part of me was tempted to leave it, but I knew that would bug the hell out of me.  (Why couldn't it have been the white pin?)  Thankfully, the piece was near the edge and I had a few extra grey triangles already cut out.  I carefully ripped out the offending piece and inserted a new one.

The block is reassembled; corners are all in their correct position.  I've double checked the whole wall.  Time to stitch together some more blocks!
