I just sewed a whole section of a block on backwards, I was so pleased I had perfect points I didn't even realise it was entirely the wrong way! LOL But I never thought to take a photo.
I was impressed the other day when cutebuns posted a photo of her triangle that didn't go well, and Klue has posted a block she plans to redo, it's nice to know that such amazing quilters have things that don't go well. We all know it happens, but you don't really believe till you see it.
So, I had the idea that maybe we should have a blunder prize, that we all vote for the best one at the end of each six weeks. I don't mind sending something from here, or everyone could send a charm square... I haven't really thought this through! LOL But I think if we saw more mistakes we might not be so hard on ourselves. :-)
Sorry but the rest of you wouldn't stand a change. Was reading a devotional book this week and the lady was talking about her sewing, she had taken the zipper out so many times that it looked like she had worn it for an acupuncture treatment. . Ya, that my quilt block. That was my first try of three. I kept the third no matter what it looked like.
LOL, thats such a great story.
