Red White and Blue Stars

I think I finally figured out how to start a new topic! This is a quilt I just finished. There is a glaring mistake, and it isn't the border fabric I wanted, but it is now a flimsy. Just need to find time to quilt it! :) Thanks for looking!

Okay, what's the glaring mistake? the only thing I see is that some of the background blocks are going in different directions. But then who cares? It's a very nice quilt, I love stars.

Glad to see that more people are figuring out this new format! I seem to get a little more understanding each time I log on.

Your quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us!

There was no way to get around them going different directions. The center square (with the four star blocks) is not in the center! I should have made another row of blocks across the top! Ugh!

What I see is one gorgeous quilt top! I love that the focus block is not centered. Please post a photo after it's quilted.

cjackaitlin 11-12-2011 12:43 PM

Looks to me that is the way it was intended to be...:)

I really love your choice of fabrics! Beautiful quilt!

I really like it, great colors and stars are always a favorite.:thumbup:

Iraxy 11-12-2011 01:04 PM

I thought you had done that deliberately. I guess I missed that glaring mistake! Nice top.

Barb1949 11-12-2011 01:05 PM

great quilt top..Only you will know that it was not ment to be that way..its lovely because your love is in that quilt.

Murphy 11-12-2011 01:06 PM

See no glare here (smile). Beautiful stars and a lovely finished project. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

lizpatterson1 11-12-2011 02:16 PM

That is very nice - I can even see the mistake.

BizzieLizzie 11-12-2011 02:24 PM

I think that it is a lovely looking quilt! I see what you call 'glaring' but I prefer the term 'owner's intended mistake' or 'owner's signature'. No one can say that it does not belong to you!!

gollytwo 11-12-2011 02:55 PM

That's a very handsome quilt
I don't see any mistake, let alone a glaring one.

Nettie Phillips 11-12-2011 04:14 PM

Beautiful quilt.

yayaquilts 11-12-2011 04:15 PM

Very pretty quilt.

laurafet 11-12-2011 04:15 PM

No one else has noticed!! It is beautiful just as it is.

Jingle 11-12-2011 04:37 PM

Looks beautiful to me.

sandyl 11-12-2011 04:43 PM

Glaring to you; but I didn't see it. It's gorgeous.

erstan947 11-12-2011 04:43 PM

Looks perfect to me! Thanks for sharing:)

athomenow 11-12-2011 04:49 PM

I think you did a good job and it's very pretty. We are such critics of our own work.

sandyl 11-12-2011 04:51 PM

Here's my scrappy star quilt

DGS helped me with this one. It will be his when he graduates from high school next year. Guess you would say this is a controlled one, also.

Mariposa 11-12-2011 04:51 PM

Your top looks terrific! The off-center block looks like it is supposed to be that way! You've done a great job on this! :)

QUILTNMO 11-12-2011 04:54 PM

i never would had noticed its a very nice quilt

sewNso 11-12-2011 04:59 PM

i don't see any thing glaring at me. you must have a 'humility block'. and i can't spell anymore. that is one nice quilt. don't point out your mistakes.

greaterexp 11-12-2011 05:02 PM

I really like this - "glaring mistake" and all!

RuthEm 11-12-2011 05:02 PM

Looks very beautiful to me! Nice stars!!

lovequilting2 11-12-2011 05:09 PM

I absolutely love it!! I love the Civil War fabrics!

sandyl 11-12-2011 05:17 PM

Just Me; I am so sorry for hijacking your thread with the picture of my scrappy stars quilt. I thought I was posting in the scrappy quilt thread. I wonder if I'll ever get used to this new format? Again, I am sorry.

I love your star quilt. Very pretty. It looks fine.

4EVERquilt 11-12-2011 06:26 PM

Awesome quilt!!

sewingmom3 11-12-2011 06:29 PM

Love your star quilt.

frog54 11-12-2011 06:45 PM

Don't worry about mistakes. It is a beautiful quilt

alikat110 11-13-2011 09:36 AM

Beautiful.....

blueangel 11-13-2011 09:44 AM

It is beautiful.

MaryAnnMc 11-13-2011 09:49 AM

I don't see any mistakes. It's off-center, but why is that a mistake? If you are going to tuck the top over the pillows, it's going to be off-center anyway. Only in this case, it's upside down.:o It's a great quilt, and i love the peacock fabric.
