Wow, it took me a long time to find the mistake. Just put more on randomly like that and it will never be noticed.

I, too, would just add more leaves & berries to the top. I would put one on the green sashing & one one the corner of the block. Do this on both sides of the top & no one will ever know it wasn't planed that way. It is beautiful & you should be proud of your work. So dry those tears dear friend. All is not lost. I have found quilts are very forgiving when added to.

Leave as is and add another holly and leaves over the green stripe.

I think it looks very pretty as it is but I like others suggestions that if it bothers you a lot, you could add more berries and leaves in the sashing. Looks very Christmasy!

You must do what makes you happy with the least amount of stress. btw, your piecing and quilting are lovely. I wish I could do that good...

I used ironed on fusible. I'm just sick. Please let me know if there is a special way to take the fused piece off. Thanks!

Your quilt is JUST LOVELY!! Remember - only God can create perfection.......I think you should leave this AS IS.........

I think it look nice!!!! Did you want the berries/leaves above the green sashing or on the sashing? Since you have them on white it may leave either a sticky residue or green if you try to remove them. You could try it on another piece of white to see what happens. I personally would not try it.

I agree ... if it really bothers you, add more berries and leaves. I would not try to remove the others. I really didn't see anything wrong ... I had to scroll up and read your comments before I even saw what you were concerned about. Just another opportunity for you to express your creativity!
