Beautiful colours - if the little boo boos really bug you, why not cut out some lovely silhouettes (flowers, butterflies?) and applique over those that bother you. There are even laser cut ones available I believe.

It will keep you just as warm no matter what it looks like! I think it is beautiful, if it bothers you too much you can always send it to me!

It's so beautiful, congrats on finishing it, don't think of it as a mistake, but a learned lesson in life. We all make those, but this one is not so big and noticeable. Really had to spend some time to see it.

Very pretty fabrics.

The unplanned deviations from the pattern do not jar so much with me. It is all 'pixellated', and some areas more so than others. It is also reminiscent of a view of a garden through a raindrop-wet window.

I'd call it 'Sunshine follows rain' and take it as an omen that your life is about to get easier once your surgery is out of the way.

Thanks for sharing. Well done and good luck!

It is still beautiful. And I had to look a bit to find it. It is easier to find an error if you take a photo. Somehow they show up better.

My friend says she appliques on the right blocks if she makes an error in her patchwork and the quilt is finished.

It's gorgeous. I can't see the mistakes but I'm not a very experienced quilter. Anyone would love to have it.

Wow--that is beautiful. I think it tells a story... the blocks are trying to make an escape route...or the marbles exited at the bottom. Just reframe the story and you're all set!
