I might not have looked as closely had you not mentioned a mistake, however, I would think simply making another corner plate and appliquing it on would solve your problem. Thanks for sharing. You do know that the Amish deliberately put a mistake into every quilt they make because no one is perfect except for God. Fortunately, I don't have to make them deliberate. LOL

I just did the same thing in a quilt I made. I convinced myself that only God is perfect & I don't want to offend him so I will probably just leave it to teach me some humility..LOL

Very pretty. If you can't live with then you are right to fix it. I would do the same.

Yes, but I agree with another comment....maybe only because you stated there was a mistake & I was looking for it. I actually kind of like it. Maybe you should just leave it. If you just can't live with it...it shouldn't be to much of a problem to take that one block out and reposition. Cute!!!

I too only found it after searching for quite some time...I say leave it. It can be your "humility block". If I make a mistake, as long as the quilt doesn't have some major purpose - like going in a quilt show - I leave it. You could put a sweet saying about humility or the endearment of human error on the label. I think it's a charming quilt - leave it as is!

Only because you said there was one did I even look. I made a log cabin quilt and it wasn't until I was sewing on the binding after having it long arm quilted did I notice that two blocks were turned the wrong way. gave it to my niece, and I don't think she ever noticed the mistake.

I was able to find it but probably wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out

I'm sure I would't have if you hadn't told me to look for it. But don't worry, we'll all keep it under our hats.
