An Oops! - I think
 
Just watched f&p episode - 2800 series - New Hampshire Nights - good looking 25 patch (2 1/2") of lite/dark squares....I think I saw an oops! In one of the blocks. Marianne emphasized the placement of lite/dark squares saying 1st, 3rd, and 5th row should start with lite so that the dark sashing is more definite. Ok, but when the camera scanned the quilt on the wall, I spotted one that was the opposite...there may have been more but camera doesn't stay on that long. I smiled, thinking, that's her humility block! If you see the episode, see if you can see it!

Still, a really nice looking quilt!

She may or may not have sewn the quilt. Both F&P and EB have others do the piecing. Hope they added it to the error list on their website. Oops, I guess she is taking the credit for this quilt!

Actually, the more I look at it, the more I like the dark squares in the corners. It makes the points on the stars show up. With light in the corners, it blends with the star points and makes the stars look more like crosses. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. When I make this quilt, I will do it that way! lol

Look at the very center block, yes?
peace

I agree, the dark corners are much better contrast with the medium yellow star points than the creamy white.

I see it and I bet they won't if they do not look at the photos.

Yup -- an oops. It is so easy to get mixed up.

I hope you don't see one of my quilts!

You people who saw that sure have sharp eyes. I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been told where to look. But, that's why I always use a design wall. Hang up pieces as they are finished and look at them each time you pass, and especially from across the room. I think that would have been caught that way.

Well I guess I would not have "seen" it, if during the program Marianne had not emphasized the importance of having the colors arranged so that four corners were light. But, in reality, I am a stickler in spotting misspelled words, so maybe that's where that comes from. A few years ago a LQS was featured in a national mag...cover....a very busy pattern. And after looking at it carefully, I saw a small section flipped the wrong way.....mentioned to store owner and she surprisedly agreed after looking at the pic/diagram in mag.....
