I could never find my mistakes until after it was sewn together. I would make my then teenage daughter look at it and she never failed to find a block turned back wards or in the wrong spot. Nothing is perfect...especially my sewing! I think its very pretty.

I don't worry about mistakes anymore. If I like it, then it's good. Enjoy your quilt.

Stand back 3 feet and then look at it. Then it does not show the mistakes as much. And besides, you can always say that you plan to put at least one mistake in each quilt on purpose. :lol: Personally, I think your quilt looks great!

Mistakes??!! I thought there were just design alterations to create something unique.
Your quilt is lovely and I don't see anything wrong with it.

I finally saw your "mistake" - if I hadn't been looking I probably would never have seen it. These things loom large in our brains because we know they are there - most people won't notice! It's a lovely little quilt, be proud of it!!!

I love your D9P kitty quilt. I don't see any mistakes but I think we are all very hyper-critical of our own work.

Mistakes that we make on our own are glaring to us but most of the time, no one else sees them unless we point them out.

I don't know if we ever get to the point where we think our own stuff is good, we love everyone elses stuff but think our own work is not up to par.

Okay, thanks for your comments. I am going to wait a few days before I do anything else with it. Taking it off my design wall, which is two feet from my sewing machine, will probably help too.

I really do like the quilt, but I just see those silly mistakes!!

No one is perfect but the Good Lord above. Just accept it and enjoy the beautiful quilt that you made.
