The strata for my Sundance Bargello -
Was already sewn into a tube -
And a little skewed -
So I re-pressed it -
But that
didn't fix it -
So I took out that last seam -
And laid it out on my
insert tables -
When I straightened it out -
And folded it up -
To check the "alignment" -
The whole thing was offset by a
couple of inches -
I could un-sew a couple more seams to try to
straighten it out -
Or just leave it and pin it the way it is -
Then
resew it -
I'm leaning toward the latter -
I have to re-check my math -
But I think I have enough between the skewed edges -
To get all of the
strips that I need -
And I can always cut the outermost strips -
A bit narrower than the pattern states -
Who's going to know -
What they "should have been"? - LOL - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Cutting those outer strips to a different size, isn’t that a design choice?
I would be frustrated to not know what happened to cause the skewing BUT...sounds like you may have a solution. And, NO, no one will be able to tell (except you).
I like Gene's way of thinking. Design choice for sure!
I was going to suggest you do what you did because they don't always line up perfectly with the last seam of the tube. I usually ty pressing it one more time to try to straighten it a little more and then give in and sew it with the mismatched ends.
I would just have to take it all apart because I know it will bite me in the behind once everything was sewn up. I would not like it, but I would have to do it.
