I also do not understand why anyone would deliberately make a mistake to leave in a quilt. It doesn't make sense; I'm not convinced that's a thing.
I'm not convinced that perfection is better by definition. It's better for some people and often those people make the people around them crazy with their perfectionism. This is said by the daughter of a perfectionist who never understood why I had to leave home. Nothing I did was ever good enough because it wasn't perfect After a while, why bother trying?
Leaving a mistake in a quilt is definitely a thing. The Amish are known to do it because of their religious beliefs. They believe that only God makes perfect things.
