O, a quilters nightmare, but...yours isn't bad a all, I agree with everyone who said only you notice, nobody else does, so give it with a warm heart and congratulate yourself,

I think it's a beautiful quilt just as it is. Lovely fabric choices.

lovelyl 12-06-2016 06:11 AM

I always try to make one end of the quilt a bit different either on the front or back so I know which end goes up around my neck when I snuggle, and the part that was around my feet never gets close to my face....

Fizzle 12-06-2016 06:39 AM

Well, I don't see it?

MargeD 12-06-2016 06:49 AM

I wouldn't worry about it as the baby won't. I always worry when I find a mistake in any quilt, but nobody else does. I think it's a great quilt.

Don't say a word. You planned it that way. No one will ever know.

sewnclog 12-06-2016 07:35 AM

It is gorgeous. Baby will love it.

Peaster 12-06-2016 07:48 AM

Don't point it out and she may never notice. Otherwise its just how you tell the top from the bottom:thumbup:

Call out a "design choice"

QuiltingBear 12-06-2016 08:05 AM

Meant to say call it a design choice

klswift 12-06-2016 08:08 AM

I was looking at all the pretty blue prints and completely looked past it! Again, as had been said so many times on this blog - It is not a mistake, it is a design element!

annette1952 12-06-2016 09:07 AM

I think it looks great. You are the only one that knows that it wasn't planned that way. The fabrics & colors are gorgeous too.

callen 12-06-2016 09:38 AM

I agree with the others. It looks great & I really had to look to notice your "planned glitch". I also like the answer from PaperPrincess. This way you can tell which end is up !! LOL

I don't think it's glaring. I think it's a great quilt the baby will love.

redquilter 12-06-2016 11:36 AM

No one will ever notice. It's a great quilt.

ccthomas 12-06-2016 07:47 PM

I think it is a nice baby quilt.

My DIL always says to me that I am my own worst critic. We tend to do that. This is so cute and all of the post have your back.

[QUOTE=ArtsyOne;7712516]I spent a few weekends making this baby quilt for a coworker and congratulated myself yesterday when it was all done. It wasn't until I looked at a photo of it for my album that I noticed the glaring mistake: I'm missing an entire row of sashing! The top row is missing - it should be like the bottom. Aaaaargh!!

I did the exact same thing on a quilt I just finished for charity. It is still going and hope someone will love it.

Beautiful quilt!

Carol34446 12-07-2016 10:00 AM

Is you want perfect, go to store and buy one. This is a one of a kind original specially for this precious baby.

Jingle 12-07-2016 02:32 PM

Beautiful, I couldn't see that it makes a difference.

carolstickelmaier 12-07-2016 04:08 PM

Been there done that. Thankfully the quilt is not directional. But it is noticeable.😞 Oh well it is just a lap quilt so I will be giving it anyway.

MadQuilter 12-07-2016 04:31 PM

Would not have noticed so don't worry. It's pretty as is.

Mariah 12-08-2016 07:49 AM

Love it! As others have said, no one will notice.
I learned the hard way about 5 yrs. ago; don't take it apart and re-o it. I did that on a wall hanging, and it took a year to und and redo it! I really wasn't worth it!
Enjoy!

No, you didn't miss a row of smashing. You intentionally sewed the quilt that so Mom would know which side was up (or down, as the case may be). Great idea!

And it took me a little while to see your "intention."

Mistake? Never! Wonderful gift to celebrate an addition to the human family made by a thoughtful quilter. Congrats.

Wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything. Nice quilt!

Quilter 65 12-11-2016 01:27 PM

I don't think it is that glaring. Just relax. Ditto the one that suggested you could tell the top by this. Trust me, I have made a few that are a lot more obvious than this!!

Plee1053 12-11-2016 04:09 PM

Really pretty! Don't think mom or baby will notice! Shucks! Took me a minute to figure it out but I am still figuring out quilting! LOL!
