Nothing is perfect and an imperfection in a quilt shows it was made by a special person with love!
|
So sorry ... I know it will be treasured ...
|
I was told at a quilt show this weekend that no quilt should be made perfect as the imperfection is our signature. I didn't know what too say too the lady cause I thought they should be perfect!
|
My husband's grandmother told me that every quilt contains a mistake or a "humble" block.
The last mistake like this that I made was when I was making a Snail's Trail. I put one row in upside down. Ruined the whole flow of the pattern, but I was too disgusted to unsew it all! Now it just has a special personality. :-) |
my heart aches for you!! I know how you're feeling did this myself a couple times

I started taking pictures of my progress of a quilt, it seems to be easier to notice a mistake in a picture. |

It's a lovely quilt! X marks the spot is what I would call it and I like the placement. It looks intentional.

Sorry this happened--maybe you can explain it away as doing as the Amish do-make a deliberate mistake. I bet the reciptant will love in any way.
|
So far that hasn't happened to me, I am always in fear of it though.
