I know, we are our own worst critics but I don't think you will ever notice this especially after it is washed one time. Just enjoy your new ruler foot & rulers & have fun with it. It looks like you are doing an awesome job!

This is great advice and I think I'm going to take it myself!

I thought the green arrow was the oops! Lol! It's not worth fixing. I might fix a bigger one if I wanted to practice fixing oopsies, but not one this small. Unless my obsessive compulsive self kicks into high gear.

I would be celebrating if I completed a quilt with only one 'oops'. I know me well enough to think I would 'fix it'. However, matching the fix into what is there without it showing would be another challenge. I think I would perhaps move along and see whether or not there are any more 'oops'. Most of us would probably say that most of the quilts we finish have a few imperfections. Mine do but I never point them out.

Nothing is perfect. That's just as it should be.

I would leave it.......It is a practice quilt after all....and none of them are supposed to be perfect!

That's like what my Grandmother would say, "If someone on a trotting horse would not see it, it's not worth noting".
Relax! OMG! It is so beautiful. I love that rich cream color and intense blue. What stellar fabric choices!

Wouldn't have noticed the Thread if you hadn't pointed it out... Since this is a Practice Quilt you can try different piecing and quilting stitches ( different designs) then donate the quilt to worthy charity... They will just notice the Warmth and Love that went into it...

No one is going to see it but you unless you point it out. Love your block it's beautiful

For a practice quilt, I think this is beautiful. And a little oops makes it unique. Happy quilting 😊
