    Leave the pink block right where it is. This makes your quilt one of a kind. There are people who make a mistake on purpose, because humans are not perfect.

    It is very nice! To me the pinwheels are the point of the quilt so I would do them and then the corner triangles and perhaps one area inbetween. you certainly don't need to do every piece unless you want to. One thing that is nice to do is to quilt the connecting strips between squares in a fun pattern. Have fun with it.

    That block can be your oops block and make it your signature piece.

    What a beautiful quilt!!

    I would follow the triangles, quilting in about 1/4 inch from the seam lines. Makes for a no mark quilt pattern and in the end really shows off the piecing..

    I always spray baste, and have hand quilted many quilts with no problem.. I quilt on a hoop in my lap. I generally use Warm & Natural or Warm & White batting and don't feel any drag at all on the needle.. also I don't bother pin basting, the spray baste holds just fine until I'm done (which can be quite awhile) It's a great time of year for hand quilting!!

    Diddn't think we had any quilt police here to point out mistakes, oh well, just do your own thing and it will be gorgeous. It already is, but the quilting will really make it pop

    if you use bees wax, something my mom gave me you thread it through and this helps pull the thread through the quilt top, dang if I know what its called. Comes in a plastic container with holes so you pull the thread through it.

    Oh, just leave it alone. It makes it unique. Besides you won't find too many quilts without at least one oops.

    Hello,
    Your quilt is beautiful. I was taught that you are always supposed to have one error in your quilt in honor of God, because only God is perfect.
