Nobody Is Perfect
 

Not when I was piecing the top from blocks.
Not when I was pinning it.
Not when I was quilting and neither when binding.
And not when I was finally cleaning cat hair off it and packing the quilt for shipping.

I noticed it when I was looking at photos after shipping the quilt.

Now you can notice it, too.

Was it the Amish who make a deliberate mistake in every quilt to remind themselves that only God is perfect? They may be, because their quilts are otherwise perfect. My mistake was not deliberate, but still was I reminded - nobody is perfect. And neither is my quilt.

I like the backing of it very much, though.

Very pretty quilt! We've all made mistakes, just don't point them out to the recipient and they won't know it was a mistake.

no. that's a myth.
they are either amused or confused that anybody would believe they'd do such a thing.

Mistakes just add mystery and character to a quilt. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/hug.gif Was it a mistake or just part of the plan? No one will ever know!

It looks good. don't say anything!

This is one of the quilts I intend for a certain charity. They will be given to them in the fall of 2021 (now I have only shipped them to the temporary storage location). Since it is going to be a bundle, I will not comment on every one of them separately anyway.

I find if I photo the quilt up on my design wall before I start putting the blocks together I'll see some of my mistakes before they happen. Funny how just looking at it you don't see it. Been there, done that.

I have done the very same thing. I stared and stared at that top that was hanging in plain sight on the design board. I just had an uneasy feeling about it, but I could not see it until I looked at the picture of it on my phone. And I was sitting with it on my lap waiting to enter it in an auction. Horrors!! So I ran back home and picked out another to go in the auction.

Oh yes, photos show us things our eyes cannot see. Odd but true. Lovely quilt just as it is.

I don't see anything wrong with it and neither will the recipient. I don't think I've ever made the perfect quilt.
One day I was showing my sister a mistake in one (she's not a quilter) and she couldn't find it. I think we think other people see things the way we do when in reality they don't. We have "trained eyes" so to speak.
If I had to reach perfection I don't think I'd be doing this :)

BTW- lovely quilt!
