"Typo" on label
 

So the baby wasn't due until this month, but she came early. I jut got her quilt done and washed, ready for the mail. Just as I was about to put it in a package, I noticed the typo on the label. And this was a label that I sewed into the binding. :(

Guess the quilt will be even later.

Oh crud.......hate when that happens..... Dang.... Cute name, tho...

Awww, sorry this happened to you!

White out?

Sorry. I hate it when that happens.

Could you put a miniature label over that section?

hmmmm......applique over it.......I will have to noodle that. thanks for the idea!!!

That's kind of funny, because usually the mistake is putting the Old year down, not the new one!

Aaaaaw - I love what I can see of your quilt, though!

Save it for her 1st birthday and it would be alright ! I’m not serious (and I do feel for you)

12 of January? Just tell them you are Canadian. The date looks perfect to me :) (and thus it took a long time to figure out what the typo might be)

I think the typo is that it's 12 (December) instead of 2 (February)? Since you're in the US I'm assuming it's month/day/year, not day/month/year.

Can you (or someone else who can draw) turn the 1 into a little design? Monika's suggestion to appliqué over it might be safer, depending on your drawing skills. Definitely pencil it in first if you decide to draw on it.

That's how they write dates in England... the day first, then the month.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you and your beautiful quilt. I'm with all the other Members who suggest an applique piece over the mistake. I have to keep telling myself, "Quilting is about piecing fabrics together. Just do it and move forward." This is really what I have to keep saying when I do something that isn't what I wanted. It is a quick and acceptable solution.

Heck, I'd send it the way it is. It will give everyone a chuckle in years to come!

just claim you are being European and listing day, month, year!

Can you just add another label covering the wrong one?

I sew labels into the binding also and understand your pain. Good luck!

I have done the same thing to. :(

The problem is that the baby was born on 12-1-2017. My DH (he writes my labels :) ) used the 18 without thinking because we are already in 2018. I like the idea about saving it for her first birthday. If it were a bigger quilt I might go that route. It is clearly a baby-sized quilt. I think the heart over the 18 is going work. I'll post a pic when I get it done.

Can you carefully embroider a little red heart over the 1?
Maybe balance it with another at the other end?

Oops, I didn’t read your post about the YEAR being the error, sorry.
I guess a new date written on a piece of ribbon will have to be appliquéd over that.

I had to cover a woopsie once with an applique--and the result was even cuter than the original. Can't wait to see how you make this a "happy accident".

Looks like baby came Very early. :)
