No mater what anyone says. I have found that if a mistake is glaring to me, and or bothers me, I fix it. Other wise every time I look at the quilt all I see is the mistake. LOL I am not perfect, believe me there are a lot of family quilts out there with mistakes. There is even one that has mistakes that bothered me so much I took out machine quilting to fix. Two years latter I was at my cousins house, noticed she had my quilt on the back of the couch, as I sat down , there in front of me was another mistake! AUUGH ! LOL
