took a wrong turn and it gave me a new quilt pattern

I had a photo and some basic cutting directions and thought, I can do that ... and promptly started with what I thought was the proper steps... mmmm... something wasn't going together quite as it was pictured. Realized that on the photo, I thought 1 square was one color and it was actually something totally different... guess you can predict what happened next. Yep, all of it was ... well ... shall we say creatively different?

I ended up with a top that I call Butterflies and star. I like how it ended up even if it wasn't anywhere close to what I thought I was doing.

A lovely result. Perhaps you could show us what you were "going" to make.

shhhhh but it was suppose to be a simple carpenter's star top, lol.... if you don't do those pesky color to color HST correctly, .... you are in a mess

It is Great!...and totally yours. I would not be surprised if others would want to make one like it. I love the carpenter's star but I like this one just as much.

Painiacs 07-20-2016 07:04 PM

Looks good to me.

smagruder 07-21-2016 03:15 AM

I love your happy quilt. It is when we alter the pattern just a little that we come up with a beautiful new design as you did. Great job.

That is outstanding! Love it!

quiltsRfun 07-21-2016 06:09 AM

Wonderful! I think that's how new designs happen.

tessagin 07-21-2016 06:11 AM

Just goes to show by turning a pattern a different way how the pattern can best suit others. Somebody was guiding you saying let's try this instead. Looks beautiful.

LindaMRB 07-21-2016 06:30 AM

Really nice serendipity! I like the result.

mtkoldra 07-21-2016 08:31 AM

I really like it!

A "mistake" wasn't a mistake after all! It is beautiful!

Yooper32 07-21-2016 02:48 PM

So, you ended up with something new and different. I think that is just great. It is quite interesting too.

moonwork42029 07-21-2016 04:01 PM

Thanks so much for the nice words... Next time I'll know what I'm doing, lol.

Ariannaquilts 07-21-2016 04:05 PM

I think it looks great, your design and interpretation!

I really like that! Very cool (non) pattern pattern!:)

weasier22 07-21-2016 05:43 PM

Well I think your wrong turn turned out to be a right turn!! Love how you just went with it! Very nice. I especially like those little peeping eyes! Too cute.

greaterexp 07-21-2016 07:34 PM

What a happy accident!

Beautiful quilt.

Reba'squilts 07-22-2016 03:09 AM

Nice save. I did that with a quilt a couple of years ago. I loved how it turned out , now I am trying to recreate the original!

Taughtby Grandma 07-22-2016 03:28 AM

I like your new design and the colors in the fabrics you used.

I'll give my "original" another try sometime and use some real directions.
