My daughter had paper-pieced a bunch of fish, and had been very careful to get the water print going all in the same direction. All but ONE fish! So she turned it in the quilt so the print was the same, and called it "Something's Fishy". Adorable!

I'm just wondering because I'm hand piecing a quilt and since I'm not the best at it, the stitches don't look perfect from the top, but I like it since it's a country style quilt and it looks more rustic that way.

To intentionally set a block in wrong would be a "false humility block," in my opinion, because what it says is that I have to set out to do something imperfectly because I'm so good that I will otherwise make something that's perfect. :shock:
Don't worry about the imperfections. Do whatever you do with a cheerful heart and your best effort and God will make it beautiful. :)
