    Nothing is perfect and an imperfection in a quilt shows it was made by a special person with love!

    I was told at a quilt show this weekend that no quilt should be made perfect as the imperfection is our signature. I didn't know what too say too the lady cause I thought they should be perfect!

    My husband's grandmother told me that every quilt contains a mistake or a "humble" block.

    The last mistake like this that I made was when I was making a Snail's Trail. I put one row in upside down. Ruined the whole flow of the pattern, but I was too disgusted to unsew it all! Now it just has a special personality. :-)

    I started taking pictures of my progress of a quilt, it seems to be easier to notice a mistake in a picture.
    I do the same thing and it really works. Mistakes are easier to spot and I also see colors that should be moved around.
    ditto

    Tell folks that years ago an old Navaho woman told you that it was unlucky to try to make anything perfect, that each object had to have one imperfection. Most of the time no one but you will be able to find it.
    LOL love this!

    It's a lovely quilt! X marks the spot is what I would call it and I like the placement. It looks intentional.

    Sorry this happened--maybe you can explain it away as doing as the Amish do-make a deliberate mistake. I bet the reciptant will love in any way.

    So far that hasn't happened to me, I am always in fear of it though.
