Well Darn, A Mistake in my Finished Bargello
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had been cutting, sewing and pressing for days then declared it was FINISHED! Spread it out on a bed to take a picture to post on my face book page. Took the picture and proceeded to go to face book and upload the photo. Once uploaded, then I see my mistake. Why do these things hide like that, I checked this out several times during the piecing process and had plenty opportunities to see it. Oh well, it's fixed now and ready to go to the quilting.

DianneK 12-08-2013 05:08 AM

not sure about the mistake, but what lovely colors

gabeway 12-08-2013 05:59 AM

Love how it came out!

MaureenT 12-08-2013 06:02 AM

So beautiful!!

Beautiful Bargello! Isn't if funny how those mistakes just jump right out in a picture but you'd never see it otherwise...

Gail B 12-08-2013 06:31 AM

Gotta hate it when that happens. You will be happy you fixed it. Great quilt.

If you say there is a mistake, then I am sure there is, but I sure don't see it. That is a beautiful pattern and colors.

mighty 12-08-2013 06:41 AM

Awesome!!!!

Mariposa 12-08-2013 06:48 AM

Very pretty, and great colors. Glad you saw the issue and got it fixed before it was quilted~ :)

Lori S 12-08-2013 07:09 AM

Its a beautiful bargello. I had a similar issue and never saw it till after I mailed the finished quilt , and the recipient mailed me a photo of them holding it up when they received it. I was stunned .. I had looked at that top so many times. Now I remember that quilt as the "one that got away".

katier825 12-08-2013 07:16 AM

pretty! I'd applique a piece over the mistake!

Diane007 12-08-2013 07:28 AM

very nice ... always better to find the mistake before you quilt it...

nativetexan 12-08-2013 07:33 AM

That is one beautiful quilt!! and no mistake, only a happy accident-which I don't happen to see.

Barb_MO 12-08-2013 08:14 AM

I would have done that but it was a 25 inch strip of pieces that was turned up side down when sewn to the others.

I've probably had many that got away and didn't know it.

I see the one light square that is misplaced. It would have driven me crazy too so I am glad you fixed it. After spending so much time on your beautiful Bargello, you want it right.

Patchwork Pam 12-08-2013 08:33 AM

I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The colors are yummy. Glad u caught it before it was quilted.

jpmaroni 12-08-2013 08:49 AM

Your quilt is beautiful. And if there is an error, only you knows. Looks perfect to us.

Jackie Spencer 12-08-2013 08:50 AM

Im with you, I would have fixed it too. Sorry but stuff like that drives me crazy. My Moma always told us " If a job is worth doing, then do it right the first time" Your quilt is beautiful!!

Barb_MO 12-08-2013 09:27 AM

Thanks everyone. I just had to fix it. I've even ripped our quilting to fix mistakes but I think this is too big an area to rip after quilting so glad I got it done. Now I can send it to the quilter, maybe she will keep her eye out for more.

tessagin 12-08-2013 09:34 AM

All I can say is WOW, Beautiful and all you quilters and your gorgeous Bargellos just making me so jealous of your talent!

Grandma Peg 12-08-2013 10:51 AM

Beautiful quilt.

carrieg 12-08-2013 11:03 AM

Beautiful quilt! It's something about the flatness of a photo, I think. But it happens all the time!

QUILTNMO 12-08-2013 11:23 AM

very nice quilt and i like the colors!!!!

lodes48 12-08-2013 11:53 AM

Beautiful quilt. I know the feeling. Made a ribbon quilt, got it altogether and bound, then I saw it. Now it shouts to me every time I display it. However, most people who see it don't notice the error.

Marilynsue 12-08-2013 03:17 PM

Who will ever know it wasn't intentional?

grammysharon 12-08-2013 03:18 PM

Beautiful quilt, love all the batiks!!!!

laurafet 12-08-2013 04:26 PM

Stunning! You must have fixed- I don't see anything.

Retired Fire Chief 12-09-2013 04:12 AM

I think I see the little block you are calling a mistake, I would say it's your signature, beautiful colors and I really like the pattern.

twinkie 12-09-2013 04:28 AM

That could be your "signature" square. Beautiful.

Krystyna 12-09-2013 05:46 AM

I don't see it.

granny64 12-09-2013 05:55 AM

Even with the mistake, it is beautiful!

coopah 12-09-2013 06:09 AM

Don't see any mistake, but I'm just enjoying that it's done & ready for the quilting! Nice work!

bibi 12-09-2013 07:41 AM

It is a very lovely quilt indeed!

cpcarolyn 12-09-2013 07:42 AM

Nice quilt.

brod71 12-09-2013 08:00 AM

It's perfect - little things like that is what makes it a special handmade quilt.

Roberta 12-09-2013 08:41 AM

It's just lovely and I don't see any mistakes. I know YOUR eye might focus right in on it but to everyone else, we're jealous of your work .

Teddybear Lady 12-09-2013 09:04 AM

It looks great.
