Anyone that knows me here knows that I write a book with my quilts that I give as gifts. I was working on a block one time that was a serious block having to do with years ago. I made it, looked at it. Colors went well, everything. Got the quilt all put together on the frame and I am tying it down. BIG MISTAKE!!!!! It was really weird. This particular block meant so much to me and the mistake (noticeable to me and anyone else that didn't know diddly about quilting wouldn't see it) and it fit. That mistake was MEANT to be there and I left it. I wrote it in the book that it was a mistake and every time the person looked at that block she would know exactly what it meant and the story behind it. That had to have been one of my most favorite blocks. We strive for perfection, and sometimes we don't even know that the mistake is the thing that made it perfect. Edie
