    I had to really look for it before I found it.. Your quilt is beautiful too, If I could make mistakes like that and still have such a beautiful quilt I wouldnt worry about it..

    Call it your "Humble Block". I like your quilt just as it is.

    I once worked with a group that made a raffle quilt. It was hanging in the front of a room full of people and low and behold the mistake in one of the blocks jumped out like a bolt of lightening. We very carefully ripped the area of the mistake. Fixed it by hand and requilted the area. It was tedious but we did fix it. However, if it doesn't bother you just leave it. Some cultures believe that you should always have an imperfection in your project so the "Gods" will not be mad. LOL.

    You really intended to have that happen, didn't you???!!!! Yes, you did -- because it's perfect otherwise and we don't want to show up other people...so we leave a mistake for them to say "oh look, she made a mistake and if she can make a mistake, I'll keep crafting"...yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it..... :)

    Took me awhile to see what you are talking about LOL!! Not as bad as I did I did some of the fabric on a block backwards. LOL!!! and I don't drink.
    Tell them you did to see if they really looked at your work

    We should always do that to make our quilt, One-Of-a-Kind.
