I can guarantee that 100% of my quilts would be considered Humility Quilts. No matter how hard I try, there is always some block, seam, stitch that is not "quite" right. Maybe I didn't make the right color choices with the fabric or my thread or method. So, I pick myself up and say: "Tonnie, get over yourself." ;)

I made one; first block I made a mistake and after I had the entire block together, I liked what I saw so finsished the quilt the same way. It was the double star quilt pattern and accidently placed two pieces wrong. THis is the result...

your quilt is beautiful and I don't see anything wrong with it! I guess it's more of a case of judging your own work more harshly than others!
and I was just wondering because I'd heard of this and it seemed silly to me because so many of my quilts are full of little (and not so little) mistakes!

It's always struck me as arrogant to "intentionally" make a mistake.
