giant mistake

see the mistake?

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on a quilt for Adam's cousin's daughter's second birthday. Today I finished piecing the last row, ironed it, and starting trimming... and then realized I'd made a giant, irreparable mistake.
Oops.
I guess little Kinley won't be getting a quilt on-time for her birthday. I plan to remake this chevron quilt and donate this not-so-perfect version.
Sigh.
And just look how nicely all my points matched up...

Clearly I have fallen behind. But I've been working on other crafty projects, which will be revealed soon, so I don't feel too bad about it.
Block seven was actually completed a few days ago. Adam chose the fabrics. I didn't follow the instructions in the book - at the suggestion of another blogger, I strip-pieced and then cut the checkboard pieces rather than sewing all the tiny squares together. This block was pretty easy to put together, and I am very pleased with how nicely all my points match up!
