Your quilt is beautiful, you fixed the error, so what is next on your list? :D:D:D

I think you are going to be one of those obessive-compulsive quilters that picks her own, beautiful and amazing, quilts to bits because of the things you can see that others (even experienced quilters) can't and wouldn't see. I absolutely cannot see what you are trying to tell us is a mistake! I looked at that quilt for 10 minutes, too! Finish the quilt and enjoy it. You did an awesome job, especially seeing that this is one of your first quilts.

She said always sew the piece on before trimming the underneath piece. Well the other 15 blocks went great. My next step was( I am sure now) wrong, I fixed the error with fusible web and then zigzaged to prevent fraying. It doesn't show much at all, but I think now, I should have made a new block. Did I ruin the whole thing?
