I don't have pictures but when I made the Warm Wishes quilt I can't tell you how many times I got the blocks turned wrong. It was difficult to see, too; I corrected one, thought I was done, then found two more. I had to walk away from that quilt for awhile to get enough perspective to see my errors.

Well, this is the best thread ever! After 15 years, I still consider myself a quilting newbie. I do the kinds of things described here all the time. I thought it was just me. It is so nice to find that I'm in good company. I feel so encouraged, so thank you all!

Yep, I be done it too, had a block turned the wrong way and didn't notice it until it was quilted, bound and being auctioned off in our guild's quilt auction. No one is mistake-proof I guess. I hope the quilt owner still loves the quilt after they figured it out LoL.

OK I am going to confess. It took me about 3 or 4 minutes to see what you thought was wrong. I just thought it was another design. Show us the quilt when you are finished, please. I think that we all have done the same thing but......God love you I never took pictures of them. BrendaK
I have put in a block upside down and now known it until the top was finished.

Yes, I finished a quilt recently that when put together the blocks made a diagonal pattern. I had noticed and changed a couple mistakes..thought I had caught them all..quilted it..sent it to Alabama to GS..forgot to take a picture. So he wrapped it around himself and someone photographed him & the quilt..when I got the picture on facebook it showed up very clearly..When I mentioned it no one else had noticed it.
I do try to get them right but most of mine may have something I didn't catch..I Don't like mistakes in my quilts but that happens..I did not show my quilts for a long time ...went to a big quilt show and found some ribbon winning quilts had a flaw in them..encourage me to try again..and not be so critical.
