I am so aggravated that I don't know what to do. I started working on the California King quilt for a friend. I promised him this quilt over a year ago and have been procrastinating as usual. I purchased the fabric back in Nov. or Jan., I can't remember exactly when. I cut the fabric (panels) and was just going to make one seam down the middle to put the top together and did that without a hitch. No problems at all until I sewed the two pcs. back together. That was when I noticed that the panels were wonky. I was very careful to cut it straight and checked many times to be sure that I was straight before I cut. I did notice that there was going to be a slight problem with where the fabric had been cut off the bolt previously that I didn't notice when I made the purchase. I usually have any where from 6-7 bolts that need cutting when on a S.E.X. trip, so I was probably not with the person cutting the fabric at the precise moment she was cutting for me. (I do try to watch them cut.) The problem is, the panels are off by several inches and it isn't of my doing! The ends of the fabric meet perfectly and have been sewn together. What can I do to fix this? The only thing I can think of is frogging this beast and cutting the remainder of the fabric off with only enough left on both ends to sew on a border and see if I can get the panels to match up that way. Had I not already cut the fabric, I would have taken it back for a refund. I did notice before I cut it though, that the panel on the left was tilted. I didn't think that it would be that noticeable after the top was put together. Boy was I WRONG this time. lol Any and all suggestions would be appreciated here! Thanks in advance! Shelly
