If you didnt see it and many of us had trouble finding it. then your mistake really is not that obvious. But I know how you feel and I know that it will always bug you that the mistake is there. Sometimes its hard to live with the mistake because we strive to make a perfect quilt. I used to point out to others my " oopps " in some of my quilts and people would tell me they never saw it. So I decided not to point out my short comings because people really don't notice.

How come I only saw this through the camera lens and not 'in the flesh'?

Unpicked and fixed it, but it's not the same. I think all beginner tutorial books should have a section on fixing stuff-ups. :-(

Just did the same thing! Sorry to be happy I'm not the only one!

I caught if fast! When you are looking at something over and over and over again, the eye does not catch it. I was an editor and I often had to have some else look at it to catch those mistakes.

took me a while to spot the mistake to, only you know it is there but great job

Frick and Frack, my quilting teachers let us know these are called design opportunities.
