and I did indeed laugh out loud when I noticed this while quilting it - 20 blocks make up this quilt - didn't notice the piecing mistake I made in the center block showing until nearly done with the quilting. This is a quilt I started about two years ago and has to be finished before I can start a new quilt project - one of my NY resolutions to finish up at least one UFO per month. Well, mistake stays - keeping Q anyway. Just can't believe all the time spent on this quilt I never noticed it - should have at least caught it when sandwiching!

oh - and any suggestions on color of binding?

Well, I had to look very hard to find the mistake, so don't worry about it. Just tell everyone you meant to do that to see if they were paying attention!

It's a beautiful quilt. Enjoy it.

Funny how these things happen, isn't it? Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL, and if anyone asks, tell them it's your special touch on this design!

What about the cream & the tan pieced around?

That one block is made to use as your label. You can print you info in the white pieces in that block. It really isn't that noticeable.

I had to really look to for the difference. Most people will not notice it Very nice quilt. I think I would go with a tan/light brown binding.

looks great anyway

yea i thought that too. and do have enuf of it - may lay that out with it and see how it looks if I ever get the quilting done - taking forever! Probably seems to take longer b/c I am anxious to start a new project - have one layed out ready to go so is frustrating.

I call these "Design opportunities"

Very handsome :!:

i cant see it

I had to stare at it a good five minutes before i could find it, don't think its anything to worry about. Its a beautiful quilt! I love the colors!

Also you know there is the legend that Amish and Mennonite women put a mistake in each quilt because only God is perfect therefore it would be prideful to make a perfect quilt.

If anybody says anything you could say that's what you did :)

You could embroider on the the cream in that block and make it part of your design. Lovely work.

I think the cream might be a good binding.

oh/ i see it .dont worry about it your quilt is beautiful.it sure isnt noticeable

Beautiful and I love that it is the middle block that is different!

You know what I love for bindings? Stripes! So if you could find one in those colors, it would make it pop!

But I've been very lucky to find matching stripes lately...

It looks intentional! It would have stood out more if it would have been on one of the sides :wink:
It is a beautiful quilt :D:D:D

I find that every quilt I make has at least one mistake. Most times, nobody notices.

Lt Brown..... What BooBoo?? Looks Great!

Your quilt is so beautiful. I had to look at it quite a while to find the mistake. The color and beautiful design is what stands out. I would go with a tan binding. Enjoy that quilt, and I wouldn't even mention that there is a mistake. I bet no one will ever notice!

It took me a long time to find the error. Just ignore it!

Spaces to sign and date it.

It's not that obvious. I probably wouldn't have noticed it it I hadn't been looking. I congratulate you on sticking with your resolution to finish a UFO per month.

I love it!!! Looks wonderful to me!

I like to think of those as "personalization" of the quilt pattern. Looks great!!!!

Stunning colors! I knew a small home builder who always hung one little piece of wallpaper upside down as his signature, somewhere that it didn't ruin the style but was always a reminder of him and his friendship to those he built for. As for the Mennonites, who among us has ever made a really perfect quilt? Not me!

"I planned it this way!" That is always my story...

i realy had to stare at it to find the mistake nice top

:) Your quilt is wonderful and unique. It is a "one of a kind".
I like the colors and pattern your picked.
You did a great job! :thumbup:

I think that it is the mistakes that make them special. Some of mine are very very special.

It honestly looks like you planned it that way. Love the colors. I would bind it with the same color in the outer binding. JMHO

Great job!! :thumbup: :-D :thumbup:

I had to look at it a while before it jumped out. Don't mention it and most won't even see it.

It took me at least 5 minutes searching for it! Now in my opinion if it takes that long to see it, then it's not a mistake! :) Great quilt Nancy.

looks like you made a special place to write special word or scriptures to me. No mistake, just Gods way of leading you inyo a growing plsce. I really like your quilt. :lol:

Love your quilt and do not regard the middle block as a mistake.....just another pretty block that is part of the quilt. As for the binding, I think either bind with that dark tan that is in the quilt, or use the same fabric that is in the border.

now,now, now. you meant to do that. it fits, doesn't it? there fore you meant to do that. i like it.

The Amish always put a mistake in their quilts because only God is perfect.

It is a beautiful quilt.!!

Found it and I think it just looks like you planned it, especially since it is in the center.

No need to laugh, its pretty. I would think that since its in the center, that is the way its supposed to be.

Actually - I like it. I would incorporate your label in the special block. They'll think it was intentional.
