No mistakes, only artistic additions!
So I mini-stippled all the way through the background of this quilt and then noticed that I have a non-deliberately unquilted blob (see circled space in lower right corner).
Do I go back and quilt it? Nooooo, please.
Do I make up a story for it? Yes!
As I was quilting this quilt, a frog jumped into it and I had to quilt around him.
Someone told me it looks more like a lizard, so I added that he looks so slim because I accidentally quilted over one of his legs -- ewwww. Which is partly why I can't remove him.
Personally, I think mistake-ridden quilts are a whole lot more interesting and imagination-triggering. Or at least that's what I tell myself to justify not fixing them ;-).
