Yikes!!! glaring mistake
1 Attachment(s)
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!![ATTACH=CONFIG]563204[/ATTACH]

I'm pretty sure that the baby will never know and unless you tell mom she probably won't realize either. I think it looks good just the way it is.
|
Very nice . love the blue.
|
Ugh, I hate that! Fortunately this is a good one - nobody is going to notice except you. :)
Just focus on all those perfectly-aligned corners. Beautiful! |
No one will ever notice!

I agree that it's not that obvious. If someone does mention it, you can say that's so you know which is the top!
|
Ditto what she said! It looks great.

It won't be obvious to anyone who doesn't quilt. The new mom will love it.
|
Its a fabulous quilt, the colours are so pretty. I guarantee no one will notice because they are looking at the quilt as a whole not how it was made
|
Beautiful colors. I think it will be well received no matter the oops.
|
Cute quilt and I doubt any one else will notice!
|
I love your quilt. Even after you pointed it out, I had to look pretty hard to see it. Nobody will notice, I guarantee it. Now move on and be assured the baby will love it and so will the mom!!
|
It's a beautiful gift, lovingly made!
|
A non quilter would not notice and a quilter would still love it because of all the time and love that went into it! Great
fabric choices! |
I love that quilt!! The fabric choices are lovely! Don't feel badly about one missing row. I'm working on a summer quilt for me and when I got to quilting the bottom row found I've sewn one strip on the last block upside down!! I refuse to take it out as it's just for me, but it happens to all of us!! You did a wonderful job on that baby quilt!!!

It's called artistic license. :)
|
I actually look for things like this to help place the 'top' or 'bottom' of the quilt on the bed. It's a really pretty quilt, and 'mistakes' or 'flaws' frequently add character to the piece. Don't sweat it, Artsy.
|
a non quilter would not notice
|
hey, that was a design element. do not say a thing.
|
it's beautiful, i'm sure no one will notice it, but you.
|
I love your quilt all of the blues are so pretty!! I don't think anyone would notice at all, unless you point it out to them.
|
This is a design choice. Lovely quilt.
|
Looks super to me. BrendaK
|
I didn't see it. Looks great.
|
I don't think anyone will notice if you don't tell them! Shhhhhhhh! Beautiful blue quilt and it will be loved for sure.
|
As pretty as it is, I'm sure it will be overlooked or forgiven.
|
I didn't read the whole thread, but I think that you built it that way or purpose so the new owner can tell the difference between the head and the foot of the quilt. :thumbup:
|
Glaring to you alone. The quilt looks good.
|
Well i didnt notice just leave it no biggie
|
The quilt is beautiful. Like everyone said, no one will ever know the difference. DO NOT POINT IT OUT TO THEM!!
|
It's great! I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out!
|
It's a gorgeous quilt. Don't worry about it! Still looks great.
|
What a sweet baby quilt. No one but you will notice the difference and if they do ....... well, it was just a creative design decision.
|
If you hadn't told us, it would have taken me a few minutes to figure it out...so I doubt anyone at a glimpse would notice it either. Great colors, what is the name of the pattern?

When I do something like that, I call it artistic license. I agree with those who commented that the baby will not know the difference. Besides mistakes like that keep us humble (no one is more humble than me LOL)
|
It looks great the way it is - be proud of your hard work. It's beautiful!
|
I think it is JUST fine. Like many have said here, it shows which way is up. If it had been in the middle, it would have been more of a "mistake". This is just artistic creativity ;)
You did a great job. It will be well received. |
I would not have noticed it and even after you said I had a hard time understanding about it. I like it just as it is.
