    I wonder if she saw her error?
    I love this. What I like about this kind of quilting is you can get a rhythm going with the distinct feathers.

    I can't even see the mistake. It is a lovely quilt as is. I will keep looking but I wonder if it is worth it to strain myself to see a mistake. Lovely quilting by the way.

    Lovely quilt. Can't remember where I read this; just it was recently....... The Amish (and others) always have at least one mistake in their quilts. Maybe we can't see it but it's there. Their thinking is that there is only one perfect deity and the maker of the quilt is not it. We aren't perfect. Only God is. Hence, the error.

    Very pretty & your quilting is awesome. It is too bad that there is the mistake in it but hopefully she planned it that way.

    I wondered about this, too, but I see only one. It's a block turned wrong. Beautiful quilt, though! And I love the quilting.

    Lovely top. The slanted stars are refreshing and simple in the top.

    Your quilting is beautiful but I would never quilt on such an obvious mistake. It would have been so easy to turn that one block that was crooked, and fix two stars in doing so. Such a shame.

    If it were my quilt I would be sick once I saw the mistake. I have one I quilted myself and didn't see the mistake until afterwards and it ruined the entire quilt for me, and my mistake was not as obvious as this one. Whoever made the quilt can applique over the top but would have to remove the feathers on that one block and try to duplicate the feathering once the appliqued block was on. A lot of work to fix when it could have been done so easily before quilting. The client may have made the "mistake" deliberately and all is well but, like I said, if it were my quilt I would be sick about it.
