The only critic who counts is your daughter, and she loves it! Have made similar mistakes and probably will again. Keeps me humble... :)

For what it's worth, I think that was the exact way it should have been made. Character and charm don't begin to describe the love you sewed.

I try with every quilt I make for perfection, Oldest DD tells me there is no such thing. Figure if I keep trying I will at least get closer.
I'm for sure my worst critic.
If your DD loves it, then its okay.

Aww....I think it kinda adds to the look of the quilt. You did learn and it didn't do any harm to this quilt.

Don't know how old your daughter is, but if she is very young, you can make up a story to go with the quilt that includes a couple of "runaway blocks" that were caught just in time to be part of her quilt! (Or something similar....she'll want you to tell her the story every night!)

Cute quilt. I think your error added a cute Twist to the pattern.
I made Twisted Sister quilt using 3 different shamrock fabrics. It turned out good.

Ronna I love this quilt! I really do. I think the right hand corner looks planned & would not tell anyone any different. :thumbup: I actually had to go back and read your post to find out what you were talking about. And I do not blame Emily for wanting it finished so I could enjoy the quilt! It is great and yes we are our own worst critics. Perfection is sooo over rated. Completed is much better! :wink: Great job and keep up the nice work!

I'm with Ditter!!! Until you told us, I just thought those blocks were part of the character of the quilt.

Your quilt is so beautiful and I didn't notice it either until I reread what you said , I agree with everyone it looks as if it was meant to be that away, Pat yourself on the back hon, for you did a great quilt!!!
:D :D :thumbup:
