Yesterday I sewed the blocks to make a quilt for the UGRR. Good thing I took a digital picture before I sewed them together. Somehow in the row assembly, something was switched around and now there are too many dark blocks on the right side. I didn't notice until I went to take a picture this evening. So tomorrow I'll be doing a bit of frog stitching - rip it, rip it, rip it.
The kitty fabric was bought at JoAnn's several years ago, but I never knew how to use it. The other day I saw a charity quilt pictured on somebody's blog (can't remember where) and I thought the setting would work for my kitty fabric. I also found the sashing pieces in a pile of fabric that was waiting to be folded and put in its proper place so it just seemed like the right time to sew this quilt. I think the bottom two rows are in the correct position, but the other rows are a jumbled mess. Where's Mr. Seam Ripper?

I'm so glad you said what frog stitching was since I had no clue. It is a good term to use. Great quilt top. The sashing works well with it.
quilt looks good........I would just leave it
Aaargh! Frog stitching is the bane of my existence! Sometimes I think I rip more than I sew-but that couldn't be possible, could it??
Frog stitching....love it! I think the sashing fabrics are perfect for the cat fabric. And to think it was just "laying around"....awesome.
I feel your pain about frogging....last night while watching the news I realized that I had sewn a block together all wrong. Time to go to bed!
I always use my digital camera to help me decide the layout of quilts before the final sew together. A photo is worth a thousand rips! Believe me, I've worn out a few rippers in my time! I also use the camera to help me see if fabric choices for my blocks are going to look right...really pops out the light, medium and darks for me.
I think the quilt looks perfect the way you sewed it together, maybe it was meant to be that way. I would leave it along! It is perfection!
Or you could leave it alone...gesh I wish auto spell checker would read my mind in regard to word choice. I suppose that's what "preview" is for??? Gesh.
What a great top. I'd leave it as is too.
Patty Skypants here. (BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a lovely comment!) As I was quilting the "ugly" RTC Sunday, I noticed one inverted patch. I was able to extract it and right it and it felt GOOD!! You'll regret it if you don't fix it. Your dedication to stash busting is INSPIRING! XXOO P
Isn't it amazing how just a couple of misplaced blocks can make sure a difference. It is good that you have a "before" picture because you can see exactly which blocks need to be switched. I guess we have all been there!! Good luck with it.
That quilt is looking great. The blocks in Rosemarys books are really lovely but I know what you mean about WIPs, I have lots too.
