If you say it is not noticeable, I shouldn't worry and get stuck into the next one.

I reread your post several times and studied the picture and still could not find your error. Don't worry about it.

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.

I think if it was not pointed out- I would never have seen it. Nothing to worry about in my book.

Your quilt is gorgeous ... love the colors of the fabric. I didn't see the problem.

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?

You're "new"?!?!? Well, it's gorgeous, and I can't see a thing wrong and usually any mistake jumps right out and hits me between the eyes! Great job at fixing whatever was wrong!
