Yes, do check! You will lose your points on the second block but we have all done that. I have! See how the points on #1 have a 1/4 inch beyond the point? That is your seam allowance so you get good points, #2 doesn't have that. Just a "pointer" so now you can beware.
Ditto on the second block. Attention to seam size and pressing are good pointers!

You've got a nice colour scheme going ... and interesting blocks.

Curious? You call this a shop hop quilt ... what is that? different pattern from each store? samples given by the stores? or what?

I agree regarding an accurate 1/4 inch seam allowance. I could not get accurate, consistent seams until I got a 1/4 inch quilting foot.

Beautiful blocks though. I think purple and green together is striking.

We've probably all done that! I didn't even realize why I was losing my points at first. Live and learn. It will be beautiful anyway and only YOU will notice!

What is shop hop?

(5) local quilt shop were in the shop hop.
You had to drive to each shop & purchase each block in the quilt.Each shop also had the finished quilt on display but used a different color & print boarder.You were also allowed to purchase a pre-cut boarder set of your choice.
Also,each shop stamped the shop hop "pass card" you then were placed into a drawing to win variety of prizes.
A great way to see your local quilt shop & meet each owner.
