    I would not change it.

    I love the secondary design, the arrows. I'm going to have to play with it.

    LOL! Reminds me of the saying, "There is one in every crowd!!" If it were mine, I would put that name on the label. It's a beautiful pinwheel quilt!! Great job!

    Oh! I didn't even see the arrows! I had to go back and look for them.

    If that rebel pinwheel had been in the middle, it would have been surrounded by subtle arrows. That's really cool!

    Now I like it even better!

    It makes me think of the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo.

    Oh believe me you could replace that perfectly and I usually do just that. But, this is the first one I really would leave in. Just because it needs to stay that way. He had to be different and there's one in every crowd. Love it!

    I couldn't find it on my own. I like it too glad you're leaving it.

    In all Amish quilts they do make one block a little different from the rest. They say the only thing perfect is God. So they purposely make their quilts imperfect. I like the idea. That way if I mess up I can just say it was planned. lol

    Your humility inspires me and so does your wonderful quilt.

    I'd tell her that's how I wanted it!! Don't mess with something that's pretty the way it is! And,since she HAD to tell you about it, don't gift it to her!!

    In bead-work, you always put ONE bead in the wrong order. Only the Lord is perfect, certainly I'm NOT! I'd leave that block right where it's at and just tell SIL, it was planned that way. If SIL is recipient, maybe she secretly wants to make one herself?

    By the By, your points are all awesome. Perfect just as it is.

    Tell you SIL that the one block is right and all the others are wrong and you don't want to change all the others. LOL
