Ok so I layed this out, was so excited to get this far this week, and then was sewing the second side and realized that I sewed the border and frame backwards. The seam ripper and I will be best friends this evening

you lost me? looks good to me

Yes that does, except I put the white next to the black square when I actually sewed it. The pic is correct, I did it incorrect. Do you think it would look ok if the border (white) is next to the black square, and the black is out?

I like the quilt, and I don't see the problem.

I think it looks unified the way the picture is.

It looks good to me too!

Wow, it is beautiful. I love it just the way it is. Good Job

It look fine to me, didn't you plan it that way?? Nobody knows, but you that it's not right! I call it quits and finish like it is. Beautiful quilt!

I'm not sure what you mean, but I'll tell you this - I think it looks great the way it is.

You did a great job...I hate having to rip the seams out !

I see no goof :shock:

Looks great to me :) You did a wonderful job!

It looks great to me!

I understand what you are talking about...but if you hadn't told us, I would have thought that you planned it the other way. Want to post a pic of a corner the way you sewed it on and then we can give better advice. I'm sure it looks good...but...you know we want to see :D

I think it really looks great, but like Patti says, if you had a picture of just a portion of the other way, we might be able to tell more.

Take it apart girlie... Take it from one who "let it be" I HATE looking at that quilt cuz all I see is the mistake. There are times I think I'll fix it and there are times I hang the bad side on the side of the bed you can't see... but it still bugs me.

It looks like we all agree that your mistake is just perfect!!!

I see what you are saying, however I love it the way it is, and would not have known that it was originally planned the other way had you not told explained it. I kept looking at it to see the "goof", but couldn't find it. I'd leave it as is if it were me ...

I like it the way it is - it's so gorgeous!!

WOW! That sure is pretty!

Beautiful quilt. Ha! it seems that more often than not my seam ripper and I have become more than best friends. We seem to be identical twins we are so close. lol.

Your quilt is gorgeous just like it is. Looks fine to me and I especially LIKE the borders.

Looks fine to me!

i like the border arrangement in the photos very much. the stars "float". i've added it to my list of ideas to steal. :-)

Wow!!! It looks great to me!

Oh thank goodness. I looked and looked and didn't see a mistake. I thought I was loosing my mind. It's a great quilt. Beautiful color combo. Thanks for sharing.

Your mistake is a happy one! It looks better with the goof up rather than the original plan!! Be happy; it looks great as is!! :D :D

Looks good to me.

pstoner,
Am I correct in what you did, where the pic. shows a white 2nd border (actually correct?) a black inner border as the 1st. Your 1st inner border is white and black would be your 2nd with red the 3rd. I may not be making myself clear, but that is what I understand you have done. When you look at the correct pic. you posted, the white design or shape, is in the center, then a red design is next and finally a black. I think any way would be fine, your choice, you could make the red the 2nd border with the black as the outer border, and you would be following the quilt color the way it is. Whatever you decide, the quilt is beautiful, just decide and enjoy it. You did a lovely job!!!

I think it looks great...Awesome job

I think it's beautiful! Lovely pattern and great colours.

Dont see a problem, you lost me there with the description but it still looks great.

Looks great to me as it is in the picture. Beautiful, simply beautiful!! :thumbup:

I see nothing wrong with it. I like it the way it is.

I think it looks gorgeous just the way it is :D
Ive noticed most quilter, myself included, are our biggest and usually our only critics, and most goofs are only really noticeable to ourselves (unless its a major 1).

Ok here is how it actually turned out (hubby liked it "backwards") so I left it. And I think I still like it, what do you all think?

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Mistake..Naw...It's gorgeous.

I like it and now you can say it is really your own design so to speak, because you made changes from the original pattern.lol
Really it is truly a beautiful quilt and one to show off!! The white makes the red stars or whatever they are, in the border really pop.

Hello pstoner; I love your quilt and have spent ages comparing the two alternatives for your border and think You've chosen the right one - amazing how different the two border choices were - glad you're happy with it now - does it have a name?

very pretty
