They say everyone has a signiture block that makes the quilt there's.Well, when your grandaughter hears the story of how concerned you were she will love you just the same. And the memories will last forever. God Bless! Enjoy life with her,

You paid for two sided fabric didn't you? Who's to say you didn't want to do it that way!

If it is so hard to see that you have to look a second time, it doesn;'t matter

This group is a real inspiration to me and a big boost of HOPE.

Momwood....I know exactly how your daughter feels. My mom has the same heart condition as you...with 25% pumping. Unfortunately, her eyesight also has gotten to a point that she can no longer read, knit, or lots of other things. So yes, your daughter WILL treasure this quilt for many years to come.

I think it's wonderful that you are feeling well enough to even TRY to make a quilt for the grand-baby.

Just finish it and give it to the baby to enjoy.

Another thing about a quilt that is "imperfect" - it's "good enough to use" -

And isn't that the point of making this quilt? For the baby to snuggle up in and know Grandma cares about her?

I've been making 4Ps and realized I sewed a whole strip of WOW backwards - and I'm not giving it a second thought. I just tell myself I paid for that second side!

They say there should always be one mistake in a quilt.
go for it. Be proud of the work you have done. No one will know, except you.

Only one mistake?

I usually do "better" than that and have several - although they are unintentional and usually discovered when the quilt is just about done or completely done.

There are no mistakes just creative ways of sewing.
When your grand baby grows up you can tell her the story
of how you make a special heart just for her.

The Amish make mistakes on purpose in their quilts as only GOD makes perfect things.

Leave it. No one but you will know.
