I thought I was being smart and thrifty by using a scrap and doing a little biscornu...ha ha...I screwed up good.  I thought I had counted enough squares, and then miscounted the border...yipes, no place to go.  Think I will just trim a bit off, and sewing it into a tiny round thingy....like a box, only round?  My hubby just laughed...all that time for nothing...well, not what I wanted anyway.:'(

Another one that I tried and miscounted....oh well, thank goodness I don't have to make a living this way!:shutup:

Nope, nothing like that has ever happened to me, sowwy... ;P

On the biscornu one, you can just undo the darker pink border and sew it together. There won't be much room to work with but it's doable.

Big hug!

I think many of us have at one time or another have mixed up our colours........ cloth count and size, you name it, I've probably done it!   :lol   Keeps me human and humble!

I've even tacked cloth underneath what I was stitching so I could finish the design!    Didn't look so pretty though!

I have to admit and I have been stitching on and off for years - but there is always a mistake in my pieces or a change of some kind (I hate pulling out stitches and if I fail to catch it right away and it looks ok I leave it)  I would do what someone else suggested and just take out the dark pink and try to do it.  Never know might not be so bad :)
