It looks great. Just don't keep telling everyone who looks at the quilt, and no one will know! I always say "It's a design decision!"

Hi there, First, I had to look and look for your "mistake", and when I did find it, I remember someone saying that only God is perfect, and any mistakes that a quilt has, it is a kiss from an angel blessing your quilt. Now, binding color. Depends on what you like....I would stay with the blue.. it extends the border a tiny bit.

A couple years ago I made a king sized quilt from embroidered blocks of state flowers. They were gorgeous and made by the deceased sister of a dear friend. She did all 50 and I put them together in a checkerboard pattern with a print floral fabric between that picked up the various colors. Had it quilted, wrapped and delivered it and THEN noticed one of the state blocks was sideways! We had a good laugh and decided it would be a conversation starter. you are correct, you just laugh and go on!

Beautiful quilt. I had to study the pic for a minute to even see the error. My grandmother told me that every quilt had to have a mistake. She always made one block that didn't quite match. Usually set it along one side. since yours is the center block, I believe most people will think it was intended design.

I won't tell. It is still pretty, and who of us is perfect?
