    If I didn't know that you weren't supposed to have 2 of the same blocks next to eachother and wasn't actually looking for a mistake, I would have never noticed an error!

    I think it looks great and since you are giving it away, I am sure it will be accepted as it is.

    You did not make a "mistake" you made a signature....it is YOUR mark on a very special quilt made especially for someone!! There are NO mistakes, only character building, or signatures of your work! That quilt is absolutely gorgeous.....I am going to havet to make me a red/white one and that pattern seems like something even I could do!

    I had to really look for the "mistake," too! It's a beautiful quilt. I'm sure she'll love it and probably won't notice at all.
