I spotted it pretty quickly. Tough call on what to do....probably fix it since it's a gift. Beautiful quilt.

It is a beautiful quilt. If I were you I would fix it just to rest easy and know that I did the very best I could.

That's something you have to decide, I doubt anyone will notice but is it something you can live with.? I don't think I would have noticed.
Why is it when we realize we made a mistake it's NEON to us. I've done the same thing and I've also let it be and took it apart to fix. It depends. One, I made was right in the middle and I had already done some hand quilting around it, that one I just had to fix but I was not a happy camper doing it, Yours is on the edge and shouldn't be too bad to fix. I have started taking pictures of my things and it has helped me to find boo boos, and I look at them several times before I quilt them. After all the work that goes into them it can throw you for a loop when this happens.

It took me a while to find it. Up go you. They will probably never notice it.

If your quilter will fix it for you that would be great. It's an absolutely lovely quilt. Definitely worth getting "more perfecter"!

Oh my.. that would bother me a LOT.. especially since it's such an important gift.. Call your quilter quick.. see if she's started it.. if not you have the opportunity to get it and fix it.. That's what I'd do.. if she has it quilted, well then you will have to give it more thought. Good luck.. I'd be very unhappy with myself.. but then, I'm only a person, not God.. and He's the only one perfect.

The quilt is beautiful but I think it would always bother you if you don't fix it. I guarantee you would not get this out of your mind. I once crocheted a spread and then saw a mistake close to the beginning and I pulled all the yarn until I got to the place. I never regreted doing that and I would have pointed it out to everyone if I had left it that way. It took no time to do it all over again.
