That's what I've done quite a lot :D I like the way you said it!

Lovely quilt, even with your artistic twist ;)

haha, it took me *forever* to find the mistake! you're very lucky you noticed it now before binding and, I hope, quilting it!

Walk away from it, pour yourself a glass of wine and put your feet up. Situations like these make me really question why I continue to enjoy quilting!

I have done that only I didn't notice till I was quilting it. Blah!

I call those "Design Innovations". I got one quilt all finished and found a boo boo but was NOT inclined to redo the darned thing...all my quits are either gifts to family or friends and what's a boo boo between friends or family??

I felt like I was playing one of those "find X" games. It took me forever!! When I find something like this, I usually say well, Only God is perfect, and leave it :)

I had to hunt for it. I couldn't find it until you mentioned the location. It doesn't look like it will be too hard to take out and sew back in, all straight seams. I've made worse ones than that and had to take out. Wait until the time is right and it won't be too bad of a problem. Good luck. It is beautiful.

Thanks for the pattern name. I looked on the website & the pattern is no more, but I am going to call them Monday. Maybe they'll still have the PDF file & can email it to me.

Be like the Amish with an intentional mistake! It sure is pretty and you have to look hard to find it.

For anyone who's interested, I googled the pattern name and found it at this address.

Pretty quilt. Just be glad you noticed it before it was quilted! I once made a mistake that I didn't notice til after it was quilted.....I am still living with the mistake. I actually had thought of taking that part of the quilting out and fixing it, but then I thought I might make matters worse. It is only noticed if the quilt is hung up....using it as a throw, it would never be noticed, so I have "somewhat" excepted it.

I have had it twice and actually love the crazy misplaced block. I did Nellie's Wedding Quilt from Bonnie Blue and one block, each having four basket blocks facing the center, has the baskets all facing the wrong directions. It just makes me smile each time I find it.

Another, Virginia Bound by Bonnie Hunter, has half of one of the stars going the wrong way and again it was so funny to me that i left it. It was very disconcerting to my long armer but I still love it now that it is done and the block left the way it ended up.

Maybe i see the humor because I dont want to rework it. It reminds me always that we are not perfect.

I think most of us here have done something like that more than once. Know that its a beauty either way!

Beautiful quilt,looks like you are an experienced quilter so fix it.:)

I can't see it.

Been there, done that! You'll be happier with it corrected...just think of the end game! Very nice quilt!

It is sooo pretty. But I had to search to find it. You know these 'professional' eyes of ours! The one receiving it would never have seen it. But we want everything we make to be perfect, heh?

It took me a while and I had to use the hint posted. I can always tell someone else no one would notice, and most wouldn't, but being me I'd obsess over it so I'd have to fix it :-).

Native Americans weaving or bead work always had something out of place...in the beading it was called a "spirit bead" and it symbolized that no one on earth was perfect...the Great Spirit was the only perfect entity and those "mistakes" prove that we aren't perfect.....I'd leave it and go with that!!!

I know how you feel. I did it to a point on a big star quilt. I left it and the new owner loved it. I told her it was a mystery.

I like it please leave it as an original

I see a wonderful surprise that made me laugh. But I know the feeling of wanting to scream

Funny but I, too, notice things when I photogragh stuff.

It took me a while to find the mistake, and then it made me smile. I'd like to see it left there, but if it would bother you too much, you should fix it. Lovely quilt!

well I found the boo boo but it would not be the first time I missed something like that.
It'll make a good story of the one that almost got away...

So sorry that happened. I was so good at doing this that a friend told me to go to a hardware store (lowe's, menards etc) and buy a door peep hole thingma jig and always look thru that. It shows any mistakes and colors that need to be moved. I love it. Beautiful quilt by the way

how lucky is that to find it before finishing. Patten looks complicated so it is understandable that something like this can happen in the piecing.


Your lucky day!
peace

I don't think non-quilters will notice. Just call it "creative license" and go with it.

Been there, done that, and unfortunately a few times after it's quilted and bound. Oops. Unless it's really glaring then, I leave it alone - after all don't the Amish put an intentional mistake in a quilt because only God is perfect. Unfortunately, I don't have to make the mistake intentional very often. LOL

This is so me....

O. K., you got me. What's wrong with it?

I also had to really look...now that I see it, I see it :)

I did the same thing and have decided that since it is for my best and oldest friend of 45+ years she will understand that "Only God is Perfect" :)

We've all done something like that, I am sure. Glad you found it before it was quilted and bound. I did not find my error until I had quilted and bound it.

Happens all the time, that is your humility block, no one is perfect, no quilt has to be perfect. You may change it or you may leave it, it's all OK.

It took me a full minute to spot it. Aren't digital cameras wonderful. They must have been invented just for usquilters!

It took me forever to find it, but once I did it now seems so obvious. Chances are, no one would have notice it for a long, long time. Guess I'd bite the bullet and rip it out.

P.S.: It's gorgeous, and very well done (well, except for that little boo boo...). Someone will love it.

I looked over & over,then took a peek of the comments......can you tell I am still a newbie ?

Glad you were able to find prior to finishing,it is very lovely.

Take a break and start on it has a first project on another day! Don't wait too long though......
