As you probably already know, the Amish always deliberately include an imperfect block in their quilts, because to make something perfect would compete with God, and only He is perfect. I know your church friends would agree with this.
Although I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, I have no problem getting at least one imperfect block in any quilt I make - and it's not deliberate either!
If anyone queries why the block is different, tell them it's the "Amish Block".
