I had reversed a few of the triangles, so the underside of the fabric was facing to the right side of the block. It had a slightly faded look to it. I wanted to rip it out and do it right...but my Auntie told me "Nothing we do will ever be perfect, just leave it, and you'll be more careful next time" It did not detract from the beauty of the quilt. I don't have a photo...I left it with my husband when I divorced him.

Maybe I will see you next June at the International Quilt Show. I can't believe I get to go to Ireland!
