    Sometimes these mistakes add a special charm to the quilt. It is a little personality different from the first. I would definitely leave it unless it was going in a show to be judged.

    This is for a baby, and the mom is a friend and quilter. Don't change a thing! The quilt now has a story, and that makes it a special quilt. (Cute quilts by the way)

    Think of it as a creative maneuver.

    Tough problem. I would have to fix it but that's me.

    It is interesting how some of us see the beauty in the mistake, while others see the beauty in perfection.

    Awww, that was so sweet of the mom! And that is just about what I thought. It's different, but it's a one of a kind - special. So kind of you to make those precious quilts.

    Makes it easy to tell the quilts apart! I would let it go as is, especially if Mom agrees.

    I'd probably hand-embroider each one's name in that area and somehow "add" fabric to that one so it looks like that was what you wanted.

    I think your quilts are both lovely. I would leave it as is.

    My mother is an identical twin and at 82 still hates the matchy matchy outfits etc she has to endure her entire childhood. She would appreciate that your quilts are similar, but not the same, just as twins, even identical ones, are individual people.
