Well..sure took me a long time to find something different.. then I thought...that is probably meant to be that way at the bottom..so where is the mistake????

Its beautiful. It took me a while to see what you were talking about, and I don't know if I'd even noticed it if I wasn't trying to find what you were talking about. I'm convinced we pay way more attention to our own mistakes than anyone else ever will :) Good thing theres no "quilting police" to judge all of my mistakes. I'd be in BIG TROUBLE!!! LOL

I always pin my blocks on the wall in my dining room and then take a picture import the picture to my computer and look it over before I start sewing together and then I do it again and again until the quilt is all put together then before I start quilting I take yet another picutre and look at it on the computer. lol for some reason seeing it hanging and on the computer the mistakes just JUMP out at me!

Good idea. I do hang it on my wall and look at for a few days and sometimes after it is sewn I'll hold it up to a mirror and look at it. But taking a picture is another way to spot a boo boo. Thanks for tip.
