Didn't see my mistake
 

I made this quilt top quite some time ago, but today I was looking at pictures of quilts that I have made and as I looked at this one it took me a while to understand what was not quite right. The square in middle with the gingham is turned wrong. I couldn't believe that I had not noticed it before. Thankfully since it is not quilted yet I was able to take out just that one square and fix it right. First time I have ever done that dumb thing.

If it had been in the very center of the quilt , it would have made a nice/interesting accent!

It took me a moment to spot it, also. Sometimes photos really do help us to "see" things better.

Glad you spotted it in time to change it.

A whole top with that "variation" would also be nice.

Like the black and black and white accents with those colored squares and white background.

It helps me to take a picture of what I'm working on. For some reason, it's easier for me to spot problems or mistakes rather than just looking at it. I really like your quilt. I've been collecting some gingham and want to use it in a quilt someday. Glad you were able to fix the problem before quilting it.

Perhaps you are being to hard on yourself. It's a lovely quilt.

I can't find the error. Help.

Well spotted....so glad it was an easy fix....it would do my head in if I found a mistake after quilting/binding.

It took me a while but I would not have noticed it if you had not told me. Beautiful quilt.

good save. great quilt

Ahhhh, they're kissing. :D Glad you caught it before quilting!

Great use of gingham (of which I have been gifted more than I will ever use!!) It took me some time to find the problem too. So glad it will be a relatively easy fix.

Great quilt ! I love the colors!

Good save. Now get that gorgeous top quilted! It's too pretty to wait any longer.

Funny how you can look at things MANY times and still not see a mistake. Nice quilt and I'm glad you were able to fix it before it became "permanent" !

I love this quilt! The gingham just makes it wonderful. It does look like the offending block was in the center, side to side, so it could have been a focal point!

Oh I even like the error. Lovely quilt!

It took me a bit to find it also. So glad you could fix it!

We have ALL made this type of mistake at least once in a lifetime. it is so easy to do.

I think your mistake was a good thing. I see a another quilt made with that mistake with the black and white reversed. Love your quilt

Glad it was easy fix but took me a minute to find it too. Beautiful quilt

I call it a design change.

Fun design and fabrics! Glad you caught it now... :)

I love that pattern, I have made it too. That mistake was quite easy to make. I made it several times myself. Glad you could correct it.

It took me a while, but finally found it and my assessment is, I would turn all the rest of them to that position, makes for a more interesting illusion to my way of thinking.

It doesn't really stand out. I have a Summer Porch quilt I made with a block turned wrong and it is already quilted! OH well,....

I don't know, as long as it took me to find it, I'd leave it. I found it interesting that my eyes just could not see it!!

Isn't it funny how you can look at something, and just have this "feeling" that something is wrong, but can't for the life of you find it! Until you do, and then you can't un-see it! I love this quilt, though. I think the black gingham was a perfect choice!

If that's your first mistake you're doing pretty good. I teach quilting classes now and I always tell my students all the mistakes I've made so they will be able to miss making the same ones. I think I've made them all over the years.

I love to see gingham coming back.... and I hear calico will be back soon as well. I think I still have some of both.

Took me a while to find it too! Love the black and whites mixed with brights---that is what I have been making lately too!

Great looking quilt and took me a moment. I actually got up out of my chair walked out of the room back in again then found it. LOL! Fresh (2nd and 3rd pairs) of eyes help a lot.

Quilt is so pretty. Call me silly, but I would have just started a new quilt line called "conversation quilts." lol....

Beautiful quilt. I really had to look for it. it was meant to be that way.

That is so easy to do...I took take photos and take a last look before making the sandwich. Just this weekend I was guilty of switch two blocks ...when I worked on quilt the placement of the colors were so important to me..then I must have flip blocks as sew top seams instead of bottom seams...thus making the block in wring place. Luckily the were outside blocks so easy fix.

Glad you also found you problem :)

Wow, I really had to look at it to see the mistake. If it was mine, it would already be quilted before I found the mistake.

It is very pretty

I doubt that I would ever have noticed! It's a really lovely quilt!

What a pretty quilt. Great catch on your part. Can't wait to see how you quilt it.

Glad you caught your mistake. The quilt is REALLY attractive:) Would you mind telling us the name/designer? Thanks.

It took me awhile to find it. Lovely quilt.

Man, I had to look and look and LOOK again to see what you're talking about. Glad for your own peace of mind you spotted it now, but truly I would not have noticed had you not pointed it out. It's actually kind of a cool layout with it turned that way, but if it's the ONLY block like that, I can see how it'd bug you.
