It's a super quilt. I would be happy to be the recipient. That wasn't a horrible mistake. Call it a design element and focus on the love that went into it.

Looks great! I had to hunt for it so if you don't tell I bet they will never know.

I agree it makes it extra special, this is something I am known for.

I'd be interested to see, close in on one or two of the blocks, to see how the signatures are on it. That is, if you wouldn't mind.

Also too, curious, as to the occasion that it has been done for.

Please? and Thanks!

We are wanting to make a signature quilt for our choir pianist's wedding. Any suggestions for a quick, easy pattern. He has 100+ kids in his youth choir alone plus our adult choir so I need lots of signature areas. Perhaps more than one signature per block. Thanks for your help!!

This was the post I did a few months ago. As I read what the kids had written, I felt the quilt was wrapped in love. The quilting is meandering hearts.

This is the block I used - all 240 of them. If I had to do it again, I believe I would have paper pieced them rather than ironing on freezer paper.

Thanks for all of your encouragement. I don't feel quite so bad now.

I think it is nice as well. I see the mistake, but as you place it on a table for people to sign (have they signed it yet?), they won't notice.

I thought of hugs and kisses.

I've always heard that you should always have a mistake in a quilt (not a problem for me to accomplish) but I never knew why until I was reading the forward in a quilting book a couple months ago. Don't remember which one, so I can't quote it exactly, but it was along the lines of the Amish women always make a mistake in a quilt so as not to offend God at their attempts of perfection.
And your mistake is definately not one that takes away from the design of the quilt. Just think, it could have been of stars with one of the blocks flipped...go ahead, ask me how I know what that looks like. lol
