It's your quilt and you make the decision. I had to look for the mistake. I made a boo boo Sat. on a quilt but I just punted and moved on. Hubby said don't tell anyone and they will think it is meant to be that way. Then the last border I did I am not pleased with so I might be taking it out--I don't want to but not sure it will lay flat for quilting--that's a hint in my mistake! I am still thinking on this process.

Another question to ask yourself -
If you had commissioned someone to make this quilt for you - and given the person the pattern and everything -
Would it bother you if it were sent back to you the way it is right now?
(It really doesn't matter to me - at a casual glance, it does look okay)

Ugly cook, I posted earlier, what I failed to mention is it took me almost 20 minutes to find the "mistake" if you want to call it that.When you called attention that something was amiss. I had to find it ,I love puzzle and a challenge. I think someone here posted once that," If you were on a horse galloping by would you see it"? In the end its yours to decide , but I would quilt the beauty and enjoy it!!

So if I look really carefully, I can see it. Who's gonna unless you tell them to? This is your choice. If it's already quilted - I wouldn't think of taking it out. Doesn't look like it is yet. I might if I wanted to be "perfect" and it was just a couple of seams to redo. Fact is that it is beautiful just the way it is.

leave it. i made a Christmas tree quilt and messed up an hst border, removed it and sewed on correctly. only to find i'd done the top differently than the bottom one. that error stayed!

I can't believe I fixed it. There are other issues, but this is the only one that bugged me. I am usually not a perfectionist. Oh well, it's all better now and I can rest.
Now on to other challenges, like the binding. I have about a 6x3 inch piece of fabric left. LOL It will be a very narrow binding or I will be finding something else.
