Missed it by thaaatt much...

I've been working on some quilt backs this week, one of which needed to be pieced.  
I set about matching up the pattern repeat and all was good.

 In fact I thought I was pretty clever when I got the repeat to match perfectly!
I sewed it up feeling pretty smitten with myself...



...Until I realized that I only got HALF the repeat to match.
Yep, that's right...every other flower bouquet is matched perfectly, 
and then the others... not so much!
 Dang!!
Missed it by thaaatt much...  :)

  1. The ones you did line up look fabulous.
    Bummer about the other ones.

    I was looking at it to try and figure out how some matched up and the others didn't? Weirdly printed pattern? Cut horizontal and other cut vertical??

    Good luck.
