Thank you all for your encouragement. I think I will just let the quilting disguise the patch, and maybe I will be able to get a good portion of it done this weekend! I would really like it sent off, so I can work on the next one, which has a deadline of only 100 days! Of course, it will be hard to let it go. It is the largest, most expensive, most detailed pattern I've designed, the first time doing paper piecing, and the first time using Batiks. Sigh.

Geesh, in the other thread I looked and looked and never could find the mistake. I see it now, but it isn't something that is really noticeable. I would leave it and maybe do a needle turn on the edges, if you are worried about it fraying. Otherwise, once you quilt it down it should be completely invisible.

I love the new applique for it!!!!!!

It's a beautiful quilt! And I agree with everyone that you leave it as is. Your soldier will never notice and will absolutely love it.

I agree, leave it as is. I only see it because you pointed it out, with quilting it will never be noticed.

As a side note, I made a memory pillow for a friend and I ran out of the blue for one side panel, I thought the diagonal line where I added the additional piece stuck out like a sore thumb, but gave it to her anyway because she was going away and I wanted her to have it, anyway, when I gave it to her, all she talked about was "The wonderful arrow pointing right at her little angel." She thought the diagonal patch was an arrow. :-D My mistake actually made the pillow more wonderful in her eyes.

I like the way it is.

Leave it. Once it is quilted, no one will know. Remeber, there are never any mistakes in quilting........only creative adjustments.

I agree with the others...leave it...it is a truly beautiful gift. I am sure your soldier will treasure it always.

This is a beautiful quilt and a true labor of love. Leave it just as it is. The recipient will NEVER notice what you find so obvious, but will love and cherish your gift.

I agree with the general sentiment here; leave it alone. Remember you are ten times more critical of your own work than anyone else ever will be. Your soldier is going to love this quilt, and IF he notices the patch he'll think it's supposed to be that way.
