I ALMOST didn't notice it! lol Almost. At least you caught it in time, so not too big of a fix. Pretty quilt!

I've done that before. Most of the time, I just leave it. :)

Oh, no! You poor dear! I always seem to catch my mistakes by taking a photo (while it's still a WIP as Tartan mentioned).

I guess we've all been there. I noticed it on a quilt that I finished quilting yesterday. I'm leaving it. The offending block is a log cabin block sewn in like yours, sort of turned around. But it's way bigger and is quilted with feathers. Picking out the feathers is bad enough, but then to get the feathers to fit together after.....no way. I'm not that skilled and I am not ripping out all the feathers in all six large blocks.

My mom called that an Amish error: she said the Amish believe that perfection is God's thing. So they purposely make an small mistake in every quilt, so as not to offend God. (or something like that) Since their visit to Amish country several years ago, "Amish error" have been our family's "my bad."

Going to be really cute! Done that several times...I leave them if not too obvious and call them vanity blocks :) I think I would tend to fix that one for sense of balance.

Wow if someone didn't point it out I would of never noticed it. I know that if it was mine I would but probably when it was finished!

Well, I've been awake sine 2 a.m. this morning and I REALLY had to look before I noticed it. But it would bug me if I didn't fix it -- leave it a day or two and then do it. You'll laugh about it later, I promise! : ) Lovely quilt

I used to try to take a pic of my quilts in progress and look at them on the 'puter screen for that very reason! Glad you caught it!
