I just love this quilt. I can't wait to find the pattern and make one.

This is one of those times that the saying that goes...Its not that you make a mistake its how you fix it!! I am impressed with the fix... Beautiful quilt!!

pkelly1947 01-15-2011 06:05 AM

It looks beautiful I cannot see any error. No hand made quilt is "perfect". You did a great job. Enjoy

Shirlrh 01-15-2011 06:22 AM

So beautiful!! I do not see anything!!

A blind man running for his life will never notice, quit looking at it. Some cultures make a mistake on purpose to prove they aren't perfect like the Lord, only he is perfect.

I thinks its beautifal. You did a wonderful job on it. I can't see the mistake either. :thumbup:

It looks perfect! I would be proud if I had made it. Diane C.

I don't see the mistake, it's a beautiful quilt!!!!! ;-)

Where did you get the pattern?

dkabasketlady 01-15-2011 07:11 AM

You made a Beautiful quilt with fabulous fabrics. Quit beating yourself up over it. You did an even better job of fixing the "mistake" than most of could ever do. If you're not happy with this quilt, send it my way. I'd be honored to own this quilt! Do you want my addy??? I'm just saying!

craftymatt2 01-15-2011 07:13 AM

WOW, beautiful quilt and I don't see the mistake either.

mimee4 01-15-2011 07:15 AM

I'm with almost every one else. I just don't see it. Go with the quilt and say, job, well done!!!

stichinluvr 01-15-2011 07:42 AM

It's beautiful! Are you sure you're new and not teasing us? It's very well done and I don't see any mistakes. However, we always see our own and we are our hardest critics.

frostbaa 01-15-2011 08:26 AM

I dont see it.

eaglebeak1960 01-15-2011 08:29 AM

this looks great what mistake???

Dianne1 01-15-2011 08:47 AM

No Quilt Police here. You did a beautiful job and lucky you, have a good friend to help you.

mswings 01-15-2011 08:47 AM

This is a beautiful quilt. I couldn't see it until you showed the close up. I know a quilter who intentionally does things like cut a strip in two pieces and finds a compatable fabric and adds it to the strip before she finishes the block. She says it gives it an old fashioned look and I agree. I think it gives your quilt character. I love it. Great job.

catrancher 01-15-2011 09:27 AM

I can't see it, and the quilt is beautiful.

Mar_ie 01-15-2011 09:33 AM

I am a rookie too and believe me I would love to be able to turn out a quilt like yours. I honestly can't see what's wrong at all

toomanycats 01-15-2011 09:41 AM

as I was reading down through the replys (no I do not see the mistake either.. beautiful quilt) with a homemade cd of oldies...singing in the sunshine was on and up popped havstuffs avatar of a kitty with headphones bopping to music...well, I thought it was funny! even looks like one of ours...

I totally agree! Keep moving forward!

GloBug 01-15-2011 09:57 AM

I also do not see the error, You have done a lovely job. :-D

lillybeck 01-15-2011 10:29 AM

You did a great ajob of covering up the mistake. I think we all have a few fixes like that now and then.

Sharonsews 01-15-2011 11:48 AM

All I see is a wonderful quilt.

Tweety2911 01-15-2011 01:04 PM

Your quilt is beautiful and like the others, I don't see any errors. I wouldn't rip it out. Just enjoy it.

Mumzbear 01-15-2011 01:27 PM

So beautiful! I can't find a mistake!

I must be blind. Where is the problem? I love your layout. Have never seen it done that way. Log cabins are so versatile. Keep up the good work and don't be so critical of yourself.

I am so glad to hear that BallyBoo. I have only been quilting for two years and have had to fix mistakes. now I don;t feel so bad about it.

Your quilt is beautiful, you fixed the error, so what is next on your list? :D:D:D

Nicely put!

penski 01-15-2011 04:22 PM

ok i cant see the mistake !!!! it looks great to me

jitkaau 01-15-2011 04:26 PM

If you say it is not noticeable, I shouldn't worry and get stuck into the next one.

fireworkslover 01-15-2011 04:27 PM

I reread your post several times and studied the picture and still could not find your error. Don't worry about it.

MyraYU 01-15-2011 04:43 PM

I think you are going to be one of those obessive-compulsive quilters that picks her own, beautiful and amazing, quilts to bits because of the things you can see that others (even experienced quilters) can't and wouldn't see. I absolutely cannot see what you are trying to tell us is a mistake! I looked at that quilt for 10 minutes, too! Finish the quilt and enjoy it. You did an awesome job, especially seeing that this is one of your first quilts.

bbmom1989 01-15-2011 04:49 PM

I think if it was not pointed out- I would never have seen it. Nothing to worry about in my book.

You're "new"?!?!? Well, it's gorgeous, and I can't see a thing wrong and usually any mistake jumps right out and hits me between the eyes! Great job at fixing whatever was wrong!

JoyVoltenburg 01-15-2011 05:03 PM

beautiful quilt! Love that pattern. and love your "fix".
