The Amish do not put mistakes in their quilts on purpose. Ask them. They say they make enough mistakes, they don't need to make one on purpose.
I made a quilt with squares put in wonky, turned one way and then the other. In one row, there were three turned the same way. I had it on my bed for two years before I noticed it. I have given it to my granddaughter now but I'm not telling her. Her grandchildren can point it out if they wish. "Look what great-great grandma did!"
I have seen too many examples of people gushing over a quilt saying it just beautiful, leave it as is, when the mistake is huge and glaring, and even one that could be seen from the back of a galloping horse; literally. Be honest!
