Boo Boo, would you want to know?
 
I was wondering if someone spotted a boo boo on your quilt that was all done and quilted (and beautiful) and posted on QB, would you want to know one of the blocks had a mistake? I'm leaning towards not....what about you?

I think it would depend on if the quilt was to be a gift, or just a utility quilt to be used at home. I would also have to decide how difficult it would be to fix the problem. Just how noticable the oops is also plays into how bad I would want to fix it. The minor things that most non-quilting people never see (or know what they are looking at) I wouldn't fix. If it just glared at you, then I would want to know so I could at least attempt a repair.

I would probably want to know and then say that it was a design decision (creative license)! LOL

I think I would want to know - but really - was it suppose to be that way or is it really a mistake ???? LOL

I would want to know -- then I could make the decision if I cared enough to try to repair it or not.

I'd want to know. . . and would probably get a good laugh out of it. If I gave the quilt as a gift, then later found out about the mistake, I'd feel terrible.

I would sure want to know. If I could not fix it I would not want to give it away to someone.

I think I would want to know. Then I could make a decision whether to gift it or not. I've heard people used to make a mistake in their quilt. Have no idea why.

Yup, I'd want to know, too, for sure...but privately by PM, not posted on the thread with the pic for all the world to see throughout all eternity!! LOL

I think it would depend on what the person who posted the quilt said about it. Did they say it was a gift, did they say they know it's not perfect, did they say it was a gift for a perfectionist? I would only tell someone there was an error if they asked for such feedback.
