I've been looking at this quilt for weeks and am still puzzled at how I could have done this and how it got past me. But it did. I had to unpin one end, unstitch the block and then handstitch it back into the quilt. Fortunately, it turned out fine and you would never know. I'm just so relieved that I saw it before I got the quilt half quilted.
I have the collection of "Greatest Quilts of 19__". The photo of one quilt is gorgeous, but right in the middle of the photograph is a block turned the wrong way.
