It is beautiful. No one will find the repeat except you. It doesn't take away from the beauty of the quilt.

The finished blocks are 3 1/2 inches. I didn't think about it until I had it finished, but I could have made the blocks any size I wanted as long as they were all the same size and square.

Consider it your Amish quilting mistake, or make a game of it. See if anyone can spot the twins. :P

I went upstairs to find it and I had a hard time -- I had to turn the quilt around - you can probably see it on the new picture I'm uploading. Can you find the block of cherries about 3 rows up from the bottom? The repeats are both adjacent to that block. What bothers me most though is that big, black pokadot almost in the middle of the quilt. I've threatened to applique some fabric over it.
