Quilted Stockings
 
I posted yesterday with a question about thread. I decided to go ahead with the verigated thread and it came out great except for one small thing. I cut this stocking out backwards! Darn it. So the first 2 I made go to the left and this one goes to the right. I'm considering making the 4th and final stocking to the right to match my mistake but something is nagging me to just make another and have them all go in the same direction. I was thinking they might look ok if hung with the 2 lefties to the left and the 2 righties to the right. I would love to hear some of your opinions on this please.

Balance it out...two and two!

I'm kind of fussy with those kinds of things so I would probably make a new one and find someone else to give the single one to. But that might just be me. I'm sure whatever you decide will be a wonderful gift and very much treasured!

I am fussy too and probably have a touch of OCD so it's bugging me. I keep telling myself that maybe it's better to have 2 in the opposite direction and they would look nice hanging on a mantle that way but I'm not sure I'm quite convinced yet. The 2 posts above are helping though. Keep the opinions coming, for either side!

I agree with two and two.

I like the idea of 2 & 2 also. It will look like pairs of stockings.

It would drive me crazy if they were not all going to the left

I made that same mistake years ago and it still bugs me every year when i hang the stockings. I would fix it and make them all the same.!!!!!
