It's beautiful and you have just developed a new quilt pattern - remember, no mistakes, just happy accidents.

MrsM 07-12-2012 08:47 AM

Well I think it was a "Happy accident". I have had crazy moments too that have turned into creative moments. Love your quilt!

You took lemons and made lemonade, didn't you? It's great. :)

Mistakes are actually new opportunities for creativity! Great save! Love your color choices, BTW. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful design that you created. You have turned this "oops" into a fabulous quilt!

Dordee 07-12-2012 11:14 AM

Looks great not knowing what it was susposed to look like I think it is fab.

You must have gotten your mind back really quick. That is beautiful and I don't think a planned quilt would have come aout any better. You did a great job and I love it.

That is one great quilt....unique and great design. I love the way you made lemonade with what you thought was a lemon. I'll bet it will be copied. I hope you don't mind. Congratulations for being so creative.
