    Your quilt is gorgeous and if you hadn't pointed it out I would never have noticed and I'm sure no one else will either.

    What a really beautiful quilt! Everyone keeps saying that your the seam isn't noticeable....which it isn't...but I keep reminding myself when I have to do something like this ...that it is a quilt, after all, and quilts are made up of small pieces. If anyone ever asked, I would say it was supposed to be that way!

    I love the colors of your Bargello!

    Great idea and solution. I've done this before and no one would have noticed if I hadn't pointed it out!!!! LOL Love the quilt by the way. I've been going through a turquoise/aqua phase.

    I've done that more than once and used the same solution. You could also add a cover up square on each corner. I guess they are called cornerstones.

    sometimes when I have had to be creative with an oops challenge, I figure the seam into my quilting design. I know that the recipient would probably never notice my fix, but it helps me to accept it.

    Oh, I just made a quilt...but made the blocks 2 inches bigger than they were suppose to be. When the top was done, I realized that it was bigger than a king size top and the borders still need to be stitched on. it's on the diagonal so I can't just cut it in half. So, I'm paying to have it quilted.

    Great quilt and you can't tell there was a problem, and you fixed it so there is not anyway.

    I also think this is beautiful and when it's quilted no one will notice the difference unless you tell them. (I wouldn't)

    You did an awesome job on your quilt, it's gorgeous. Even with the stiletto pointing the way, I could not find where you pieced the border, and no one else will either. You did an awesome job on your quilt and should be proud of it.
