awwww bless your heart. you know sometimes we all can lay our pieces on the floor or design wall and still miss place a block. At least it is close to the edge to fix. Wonderful quilt by the way

The quilt is beautiful. Yes, I found it right away. If the mistake will drive you crazy years from now, fix it now and then you won't be saying, "Don't look at this quilt. I made a mistake and never got around to fixing it."
I know myself and an obvious mistake would bother me years down the pike. It is really cute though. How did you make the plates that they stand up???

It's beautiful, mistake and all.

buddy'smom! Is it possible to applique the design onto the blue fabric? I think that I would try that first. I actually had to do that on a block that I made and it worked out well. Good luck! It is a beautiful quilt.

Thanks everyone, will take it apart. I guess I just can't leave it like that.

If it's still at "just the top" stage, I would fix it.

It would bother me a lot if I left it as is after noticing the difference!

It's a very pretty quilt.

Have you been using it? Draping it over the couch? Snuggling in it? Tucking it around a loved one? Nobody else has noticed or said anything? Then I say to call it a design feature!
Seriously, if it makes you crazy now, fix it. If it doesn't, don't. And if it doesn't make you crazy, no need to apologize to those who it does.
(I'd blame it on the cat!)

Maybe someone already said this...but if it really bothers you - what about applique the Dresden plate quarter on that block? I think it's a very pretty quilt - and it would be a shame for it not to be seen.

Saw the mistake, but had to look for it. Love the pattern, could you share it?

Yes, it shows up, my advice, fix it or you never will be happy with this quilt!!! I find an error in one of my quilts after I had finished quilting it, had to remove quilting, take out the patch, correct the error and applique it back in and re-quilt it. I was never sorry that I fixed it!!!
