    before you speak THINK

    I like them both, consider what you think of as a mistake as your unique twist on a pattern.
    Quilt outside of the box!

    When a quilter makes a mistake - just call it creativity and continue on. Folks will think you are so artistic and clever

    One time I pieced the back of a crib quilt. Folks comment more on that than thefront. I was just trying to use up all the left over fabric and not have an unwanted stash left behind

    Now, I'm not new to sewing, so I know what a stash is. However, I have never heard of an "unwanted stash". Is there such a thing? LOL

    The dark star is so much more to my liking because it is a creative response. Patterns are just a hint of what things could be. How many times have people remarked they put their own twist on something, or could not find the identical fabric and end up making something that is their own! It is so hard to get into someone mind set that we rather blame ourselves for making something less than identical. All you really need is the spirit that draws your plans together and sets you off on a new path.....enjoying the difference.

    Looks great either way

    I like both ways. I do understand the reading the pattern part. I've been known to start reading and even read the line that says "read the whole pattern before starting." Of course I don't, that would take time away from quilting. I've learned that wasted time will be made up not ripping stuff out. Live and learn

    I love the gingham blocks-they are sew cheerful
    It's not a stash-it's a fabric library!
