- such as a block that is facing a different direction from the others
- a border that is ruffled and was meant to be flat
- blocks where the intersectionss are supposed to meet, but are 1/4 inch off
- etc

Are you really looking for suggestions and encouragement to fix/ change it?

Or

Are you really looking for approval to leave it as it is?

(Assuming this is at a before iit was bound and sent off stage in the process)

Sometimes it is just out of frustration and you want to vent.

Very valid points. If a post like this was more specific, there would be less chance of possible unwanted criticism or hurt feelings. Also might help avoid the posting going off in territories never intended.

I really don't know; but responses such as "if it bothers you, change it" caught my attention. This week, I was making the Lattice Quilt that Jenny Doan demonstrated recently. I was watching what she was doing. She cut a charm square in half on the diagonal and sewed a 1-1/2" strip between the two pieces. After making 62 of those blocks, I looked at the video again and saw that the quilt behind her had different fabric on each side of the strip. Remembering the response that I had read here many times, I knew it would bother me. I am now an expert at ripping. I sewed different fabric on the top of each block. I was thankful that people had given that advice to others. With my corrected blocks, I am very happy. Also, I learned a lesson. Look at the finished quilt before you start to make one like it.

You are not allowed to post I messed up or I made a mistake, without asking how to fix it. It is considered whining.

Just to vent. I already know what I'll do about it.

sometimes it just feels good to admit you're not perfect--ask me how I know.....

how about posting boo-boos as a cautionary tale? ;-)

All of the above are valid answers. People post for different reasons. "whinning and venting" posts I read and take with a grain of salt and move on.

This can get quite tricky.

Personally I never post my mistakes just to point at them. No way.
I either fix it or I don't but I won't point to it because it will probably bother
me too much specially if I don't intend to fix it. LOL
I prefer to keep quiet and nobody will be the wiser. ;-)
