Frustrations

I've been working for the last few weeks on a quilt called a September Sun. The pattern is awesome but a little more complex than anything I have completed in the past. I am on a deadline to get this done so the quilter I have asked to finish it can have it.

This pattern has been very frustrating. Once I take the time to ask and learn the techniques that are proven to work for the issue at hand it goes smoothly again until I hit upon another area where I need help. The quilt has been like that from the start.

Most recently I am finishing up one of the final blocks for the quilt and hit upon yet another road block. This time it sounds like my block has come out too big even though I followed the instructions and used the templates for it.

Being this close to done is hugely frustrating to me. The thought of having to tear apart that block and start over is nothing short of heart breaking. I'm not sure I can bear it. Alas I will have to wait until Saturday to find out if it is really a problem or not.

Keep your fingers crossed! I would like to get this thing sewn together and borders started this weekend but that won't happen if I have to tear it all apart and redo it.
