I couldn't agree more. If you make the same mistake throughout it becomes a pattern. :thumbup:

Just name it your mystery quilt. That's what mine are when I goof. If it is small mistake in my quilt I challenge them to find it.

No doubt many new quilt patterns have come about from someone putting an existing pattern together differently.

it's a "happy accident" as painter Bob Ross used to say

One time I pieced the center of the quilt all wrong. I cried and then decided to bite the bullet and take the center out and redo it. I am so glad I did. It turned out to be the most beautiful quilt that I have made.

I agree.... and how about just finishing the 8 wrong too!

It depends on you. If you think it will bother you, rip it out. The center block on my avatar was in a different place, and after I had it all together, I hated it, so ripped it out....learn to love your seam ripper. I love my ripper, I love my ripper, I love my ripper. I loved it a lot yesterday...... :)

I decided to rip them out it just didn't look right, Thanks for all your ideas and help. I've been quilting for a while consider myself still a beginner and like feedback from other quilters.

This is the first Take Five I made. I wanted something different so I used Asian fabrics. I had alot of fun making it.
