thanks for your thoughts. here's the error - in the end and once it's all done, any one who notices will notice. and then appreciate the hundreds of hours of work that went into simply finishing it.
and i would be sad if people stopped posting their mistakes and stopped sharing their vulnerabilities. it would make this community a whole lot colder if we did that.

Aileen, from your description I was expecting a jumbled mess in your corner. It's not!!! From the front it's barely noticeable. It's a little more obvious on the back, but not to the extent I thought it would be. Don't you dare take any of your stitching out! It's fine and you need to get this quilt to your grandmother. I guarantee she will love it!!!

In my opinion, your quilt is absolutely beautiful. I don't see any mistakes, I see the blood, the sweat and the tears that went into every loving stitch. If boo boos weren't meant to be made we would all be perfect in our craft. I for one never try to be perfect as that would make me insane and I would never get anything done. Unless you mention it no one will notice, and if they do just say it was a design element to make it imperfect.
