Yesterday I wasn't feeling quite up to par but I came into the sewing room anyway, and shouldn't have. I KNOW that when my focus isn't 100% I make mistakes....and yesterday wasn't the exception.
I had all the parts for the "Jersey Girl" quilt cut and even had all the block units laid out and sewn up. I thought I'd show one block on Instagram and received a comment from a friend letting me know that I had the light/cream square in the wrong spot. WHAT???? I looked at the pattern again and darn, the cream square belongs towards the center of the block!
I struggled with the decision to take all 36 blocks apart and putting the neutral square in the correct spot but I thought that if I started taking it apart....well, I might not finish so I forged ahead, assembled the units and today I finished.
Here's one block up close......
I used only fabric from my stash and will probably have to piece the back but if I want it finished it MUST come from the stash!!!
I did tell JoAnne that I was going to name this one "Jersey Girl with Heart" in her honor.....so when I make the label, that is what it will be called....
This project measured up to be 36 x 36 and will be perfect for the wall over my love seat in the living room. Now to get it quilted and bound!
Thank you Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. for a super cute project!!!

I really like your "mistake"! Maybe even better than the original pattern design.
I agree with Connie. I like yours better. Very cute.
You know what? I kinda like it better the way you did it! lol! I always say, If it turned out that way, it must have meant to be that way... ;-)
I think that your design is really cute, too. I hope you enjoy it.
I actually really, really like how your block came out. I may even like it better than the original!! Isn't it fun to see all the varieties of the same pattern appearing in blogland. It is the reason I love making the Schnibble each month.
The block looks lovely. I like the way it turned out where you placed the reds.
I love your Jersey Girl quilt, I didn't realize the mistake when I first saw it because I thought it was so pretty. I love seeing all the projects you have been working on.
