Oh my, you've made 'mistakes'? I call it creative license. Who knows, leaving the selvage showing on a quilt may just become the new 'in' thing and then you'll be sorry you did not patent the idea.

For myself, there are no mistakes--just a new interpretation of a pattern. (But I HAVE basted a quilt to the rug)

lol, I have definitely sewn a pin into a quilt also.

We all make them - however-they can be fixed! Find yourself an ink pen like in Michaels or an art store and match the color you need. Be sure to touch it very lightly to see how much the ink runs . Actually, gel pens are best. After fixing it, set the color with a hot iron. Be sure to put a piece of tissue or fabric on top so you don't burn the fabric. You might try it out on a trial piece first. I have done this multiple times and it works! Washes ok, too.

Post a pic of your quilt so we can ooh and ah at it!

I've made plenty of mistakes and here is two to prove it. See how easy they are to find. The date on this quilt is 2008 and it is still waiting to be quilted. I have about twentyfive waiting!

Hi and welcome to the board from Iowa. I saw no mistakes here; only individual preferences (smile).

I'm sure we all have put our "signature" in a few quilts. When I first started making quilts...I always would have a couple fabrics upside down. I thought it was funny and never fixed them. I said that I wasn't perfect and neither was my quilt.

I know the problem. Many times when I am hand quilting my finger tip ends up being stitched in. I quilckly look to see if I am bleeding. ROFL-OUCH

Lowell ;) ;) ;)

That is great!! :lol:

im guilty too have done some of same things

I have done these things before but my machine will break a needle before sewing that PIN:: I have done that many times and have lots of needles on hand: UBE Quilting _ ohh my bless your heart: I would let that BOO BOO go: Sure is a beautiful quilt::: Unless it really buggs you:::
