Spartan quilter, the glitzy thread looks great on your blocks. And , hey! don't call them "mistakes" ... I was reading through the first Jane Stickle cyber block party and I really liked the one comment I read that one lady posted. . . they were further along on their quilt blocks and she was enjoying being able to look at the blocks she was now making and was thrilled to see how much she was learning along her journey in making this quilt. I started counting and we have over 100 more melons to make! I am with Fraew and feel I have lots more room to improve on these melons.
I also remember a lesson I learned from a folk artist many years ago... when I was fretting over "mistakes" in some of the things I was making he very kindly told me that he purposely made sure he had areas that were not perfect in his work because people want to see that the items are handmade....not something perfect turned out in a factory.
