Been there, done that! Don't worry about it. It's a beautiful quilt! My husband often tells me no one is going to see the mistakes that I try so hard to avoid or fix. Others will just see a beautiful quilt. And you know, he's right! Enjoy your quilt! I like blue, tan, or cream for the binding.

Your error adds interest to the quilt and wouldn't see it as such unless you point it out. Lovely quilt and I think tan or cream binding would finish it off very nicely.

It's not something that I have made if there isn't at least one mistake. Makes them unique!!! Just say it your signature, no one will ever know the difference. I personally would use the solid red (around block) as your binding.

Well, mistake stays - keeping Q anyway. Just can't believe all the time spent on this quilt I never noticed it - should have at least caught it when sandwiching!
oh - and any suggestions on color of binding? |
I had to look twice so it doesn't scream WRONG to me...Quilting is like gardening, we learn from our mistakes... :D
|
It looks great! One of a kind! I would use some of the red for binding...with, maybe, a small white square once in a while :lol: :P !
|
That one is the main block!! That is what I will tell everyone who ask. (If they see it :-))
|
I never would have noticed it! I like the red print for binding, Thanks for sharing,

It's a beautiful quilt and I wouldn't worry about the mistake either - I really had to look hard to "find" it, and besides you want to keep it anyway. I would put a cream binding, the quilt being darker, it would enhance it, sort of giving it a "face-lift"!!!
|
Oh, that's a great mistake! Looks intentional. I always love a red binding.
|
So say it's done in the Amish style of having a deliberate mistake to show that only God can do things perfectly. :lol:
P.S. It's very nice. |
i had to look hard as well! it's a beautiful quilt!
