Oops

I had a layout and a plan.  I cut the pieces, got everything on my design wall, then looked at my lightest green fabric and said to myself:  I could add one extra block with that color.  I really like that fabric and wanted to see more of it.

What I had failed to register is that I had not yet cut the three setting triangles I needed.  I didn't notice my mistake until I started to cut the setting triangles.

Oops.

So I changed my plans, moved stuff around and traced the pieces I'd needed on the back of the remaining fabric.  Then changed that plan twice as I still couldn't squeeze out the triangles I needed.  So close!

Eventually I found the right combination of squares, triangles and scrap.  I had to sacrifice a corner setting triangle (already cut) and dig through my crumb pile to accomplish that.  I circled my desperate piecing; the crumbs next to the quilt are the sum total of all that's left.  Oof.  I never want to do that again!

I realize it's a lot of seams next to the edge.  All sorts of ugly.  But I figured that was safer than having a super scant ⅛ inch seam allowance in the same area.  Once it's quilted and bound, no one will notice.  I'm thrilled that the mottled color helps hide the seams.

There's plenty of fabric for the other end, so I'll have no problems with that.  If all goes well I'll have a flimsy tonight.  I'm already thinking of the backing.  Ooh - and binding.  I should probably cut that first, shouldn't I....
