If you hadn't told me I wouldn't have seen it either. Beautiful.

I think it is interesting that your "mistake" balanced the bottom of the quilt--looks like it was meant to be that way.

Beautiful wall hanging. Had to look for the mistake.

Never in a million years would have noticed it. Had to look very hard to find it. I think you should just say it's the rebel in you :twisted: Lovely block.

I really like it that way. :)

Awesome job. If and when I ever make this I hope I can say that is the only mistake I have made.

You'll just have to name that quilt Lost At Sea :)

I had to look at each point and do the "dark, light" thing to find it. lol

I had to really search, too. Its very pretty!

That's so funny....remember this the next time you worry about some little flaw in a big quilt!! How often are they noticed? :lol:

Ditter

My sister had a clock on her living room wall for about 2 years, she was not happy with it it kept getting yellow. She dusted it alot. I was viisting( she was wacthing me our parents were out of town) and said I would wash it .Guess want , it had paper on the points, boy was she surprasied, it was gold and shiny, I told her I workrd real hard on it. Told her later(next day) want happen.

I would never have seen it if you hadn't pointed it out! It's beautiful just the way it is.

Okay, I give up! I can't find it! It is really striking and I agree to leave it that way!

Once you mentioned it - I had to look for it. Just makes the quilt and original.

I had to look and look to see it.

It is called a design opporutunity. Beautiful.

It is beautiful. Wish I could do that. Just tell everybody its your "humility" block and go with it.

It wasn't an easy find. I love it and the colors. Theresse

Did you know the Amish made a mistake "on purpose" on their quilts? It was their signature. ALWAYS state to anyone that notices what may be considered to be a mistake as....Your signature for that quilt. Especially on this quilt. It's beautiful!!!

LOL, I don't have to make mistakes on purpose! I have plenty !

Hard to see it when you are looking for it. Keep it hanging, no one will know unless you tell them. Beautiful job!

Who would notice? It is lovely!!

Your Mariner's Compass is beautiful! When I received my One Block Wonder back from the lady who hand quilted it , I promptly displayed it on my wall, waiting for all the oohs and aahs from friends. I did get lots of compliments, but one friend pointed out that one of the blades in the design was upside down. I laughed my head off, because I would never have noticed that. :lol: Then I remembered that "only God is perfect" and that this philosophy can be found in many religions. So there you have it! I am happy with my quilt too. :lol:

Again, would not have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out.

Very very funny - 2 years worth of 'obvious!'

Dang if I can find it, but then I've only made 4 quilts in my life, and they are embroidered blocks. So just leave it alone, and enjoy.

Quilter's Rule #1: Never, Never point out your mistakes....no one will notice it if you don't show them. I had to really look at this to see what you were talking about.

SHHHHH! If you don't tell, bet nobody will notice. I had to look after you pointed it out. I think it's gorgeous! You did a great job & Thank You for sharing. It's def. a keeper.

Right to the point!HA WOW!

When we lived in amish country, that would be called the humility piece or block, no matter how perfect one of their quilts seemed, they would intentionally make a mistake!

If it took you three years, who cares? It's beautiful!

LOL ... nice to know the world is populated with other human beings <g> <wave> I LOVE when things like that happen! (it keeps me humble and diligent <g>) And, being able to laugh at oneself helps entertain others so well! :thumbup:

I say that everything I work on is unique in that none are perfect so this flaw is my signature on each quilted project.

You shouldn't have mentioned it. I first look at the picture and then I read what you said and then I have to look for it. So, "it should be like that!"

For those of us who couldn't find it, I am thinking it is the green point to the left of the bottom pink point.

Am I right? :oops:

I don't think most people notice the mistakes. I sent my last quilt to the quilter and she had it laying on her machine to start quilting and her 10 year old son found a block that was put on sideways!! Not me and not the quilter but her son. By the way he is also a quilter.

I really had to look very hard to find the "flaw" but I think that makes the quilt charming and very personal :-D :thumbup:

Wow, I didn't see it at all until I read Sharon's post. After finding it, I think it looks like the star is on a frame or something like that. It looks like it's meant to be that way. It's a beautiful quilt!

yep! Three years I've been looking at this thing! ah...I love it anyways!

took me a couple of minutes to see it my self.had to go around with my eyes an almost still didn't catch it but it's still a assum quilt
