and I did indeed laugh out loud when I noticed this while quilting it - 20 blocks make up this quilt - didn't notice the piecing mistake I made in the center block showing until nearly done with the quilting. This is a quilt I started about two years ago and has to be finished before I can start a new quilt project - one of my NY resolutions to finish up at least one UFO per month. 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? |
Well, I had to look very hard to find the mistake, so don't worry about it. Just tell everyone you meant to do that to see if they were paying attention!
It's a beautiful quilt. Enjoy it. |
Funny how these things happen, isn't it? Your quilt is BEAUTIFUL, and if anyone asks, tell them it's your special touch on this design!
|
What about the cream & the tan pieced around?
|
That one block is made to use as your label. You can print you info in the white pieces in that block. It really isn't that noticeable.
|
I had to really look to for the difference. Most people will not notice it Very nice quilt. I think I would go with a tan/light brown binding.
|
looks great anyway

I call these "Design opportunities"

Very handsome :!:
|
i cant see it
|
I had to stare at it a good five minutes before i could find it, don't think its anything to worry about. Its a beautiful quilt! I love the colors!
Also you know there is the legend that Amish and Mennonite women put a mistake in each quilt because only God is perfect therefore it would be prideful to make a perfect quilt. If anybody says anything you could say that's what you did :) |
You could embroider on the the cream in that block and make it part of your design. Lovely work.
I think the cream might be a good binding. |
oh/ i see it .dont worry about it your quilt is beautiful.it sure isnt noticeable
|
Beautiful and I love that it is the middle block that is different!
You know what I love for bindings? Stripes! So if you could find one in those colors, it would make it pop! But I've been very lucky to find matching stripes lately... |
It looks intentional! It would have stood out more if it would have been on one of the sides :wink:
It is a beautiful quilt :D:D:D |
I find that every quilt I make has at least one mistake. Most times, nobody notices.
|
Lt Brown..... What BooBoo?? Looks Great!
|
Your quilt is so beautiful. I had to look at it quite a while to find the mistake. The color and beautiful design is what stands out. I would go with a tan binding. Enjoy that quilt, and I wouldn't even mention that there is a mistake. I bet no one will ever notice!
|
It took me a long time to find the error. Just ignore it!
|
Spaces to sign and date it.
|
It's not that obvious. I probably wouldn't have noticed it it I hadn't been looking. I congratulate you on sticking with your resolution to finish a UFO per month.
|
I love it!!! Looks wonderful to me!
|
I like to think of those as "personalization" of the quilt pattern. Looks great!!!!
|
Stunning colors! I knew a small home builder who always hung one little piece of wallpaper upside down as his signature, somewhere that it didn't ruin the style but was always a reminder of him and his friendship to those he built for. As for the Mennonites, who among us has ever made a really perfect quilt? Not me!
|
"I planned it this way!" That is always my story...
|
i realy had to stare at it to find the mistake nice top
|
:) Your quilt is wonderful and unique. It is a "one of a kind".
I like the colors and pattern your picked. You did a great job! :thumbup: |
I think that it is the mistakes that make them special. Some of mine are very very special.
|
It honestly looks like you planned it that way. Love the colors. I would bind it with the same color in the outer binding. JMHO

I had to look at it a while before it jumped out. Don't mention it and most won't even see it.
|
It took me at least 5 minutes searching for it! Now in my opinion if it takes that long to see it, then it's not a mistake! :) Great quilt Nancy.
|
looks like you made a special place to write special word or scriptures to me. No mistake, just Gods way of leading you inyo a growing plsce. I really like your quilt. :lol:
|
Love your quilt and do not regard the middle block as a mistake.....just another pretty block that is part of the quilt. As for the binding, I think either bind with that dark tan that is in the quilt, or use the same fabric that is in the border.
|
now,now, now. you meant to do that. it fits, doesn't it? there fore you meant to do that. i like it.
|
The Amish always put a mistake in their quilts because only God is perfect.
It is a beautiful quilt.!! |
Found it and I think it just looks like you planned it, especially since it is in the center.
|
No need to laugh, its pretty. I would think that since its in the center, that is the way its supposed to be.
|
Actually - I like it. I would incorporate your label in the special block. They'll think it was intentional.
