Do I contact the quilter and have her send it back before she quilts it or let it be. Advice needed thanks.

You can point out your mistakes but if you are not looking for it you can't hardly tell unless you are looking for a mistake. Anyway how do you know that the recipient will find it and point it out and? Your quilt is beautiful and I believe you should leave it. But ultimately it is your decision....

The Amish always make a mistake on purpose to show that God is the only perfect one, and we all make mistakes. I love the quilt, and it took me awhile to find the 'mistake', but totally up to you if you want to fix it before the quilter finishes it up.

Gorgeous quilt, but (because you said to look), the mistake does show.

I think you would be happier if you asked for it back, to fix the mistake.

Too bad, becuase - WOW - that is one beautiful quilt.

Well I looked and looked and couldn't figure out what the "it" was until someone else pointed it out! If it bothers YOU, I would fix it. Other wise carry on. It's beautiful quilt! :)

I would fix it but a very pretty quilt.

the star area on the right upper side? I'd leave it. it's a beautiful quilt!!!

I looked and looked and couldn't find it until someone said upper right. My guess is that, especially after it's quilted, no one will notice except you, so it's up to you. It's a beautiful quilt!

Something funky in the right upper corner? Humility block? Could they put it in the part they tuck under? I would ask to have it send back. It looks like you put a lot of time into this one and it looks like it is not too hard to fix. would it else be possible for the long arm quilter to fix it and you send her some money?

I see it, but only because you said there was one. I doubt very much whether it will be noticed once it is on the bed as it will be on the side.

I would fix it because that is all I would see when I looked at the quilt. But, if you don't tell anyone maybe no one will see it.

It is a beautiful quilt.
