Flying Geese Gone Wrong

What would you do if all your blocks came up wrong? It's a question I had to ask myself tonight, and it wasn't very fun.
See how wonky and unmatched everything is!

It's supposed to measure 9.5" square once trimmed! Ahh!
And the worst part is that I can trace back to exactly what I did wrong. I sewed my flying geese together improperly. I thought 'hey I've sewn geese before, no problem, dive right in' -- but I dove head first and came up on the shallow end. 
Bummed. Now I get to start over, but not before I read up on flying geese.

Oh bad question to ask me. What is this quilt for? If it is just a "lazy quilt" (one for Saturday morning cartoon watching) I would use those blocks. But that is just me. It seems the only problem is that they aren't the right size. Is that correct? If so, just make the quilt a little smaller or add sashing. I told you I was the wrong person to ask. Just listen to episode 2 of my podcast and this comment will make perfect sense.

they would also make great mug rugs……. I think I have sewn at least one of something wrong every time I start a new venture. At the time it seems so right…… Don't despair.
