It took me a while to find the mistake. But isn't that the end you tuck under the foot of the mattress? I think it's a lovely quilt! Either way it can keep a body warm!

LOL--regardless, your quilt is beautiful and now a conversation piece. On my first trip around the world quilt I put an entire quarter-panel in wrong. The dominant colors were diamonds, but the light colors were rectangles! I didn't find this out until I was doing the quilting!! And it was a baby gift for someone. I just called it a puzzle quilt and gave it to the couple anyway. They loved it!! It taught me that errors can be conversation pieces. By the way, the couple loved the quilt so much that they hung it on the nursery wall instead of using it.

I like the "puzzle" quilt idea - made me laugh out loud!

I agree and I had to really look to spot the boo-boos LOL. A non quilter would NEVER spot them:)

I agree!

Beautiful! Nice job! And I would hang it up also. I had to really look hard for the mistake.

Quilts like this are called "Keep Me Humble Quilts" and one should be displayed in your sewing room to remind you to relax, pay attention, and don't rush.
I have one on the wall and many more stashed in a closet LOL
