Would you want to know if someone notices a flaw?

I thought it was that one rose was toward the inside -- I agree that it is like the puzzle in the sunday funnies where you have to pick out the 2 that are alike. I never can figure them out either

Frankly, I like it just the way it is

I posted a quilt op here of a D9P and someone pointed out one of my blocks was rotated the wrong way. And I was SO happy they caught it before I started quilting it.
I guess if they know before they quilt it is GREAT....if it's after it's quilted and done, I probably wouldn't say anything. As there wouldn't be anything they could really do about it.
But I feel like people are here to help me, that's why I post things, I don't think any of us are here to tear one another down. That's what's so nice about this board, we're here to help and encourage.
Just my opinion. :)

A few weeks ago, someone posted a photo of a quilt, and I noticed one block was 180 degrees off. It really stood out to me, probably because I had done a quilt with the same pattern just before seeing this photo. But, I didn't want to comment on it ... just seemed, I don't know, kind of nit-picky?
But, then I was thinking, if I knew a quilt had a flaw, but I figured no one would notice, I'd really want to know if someone DID notice.
What do you all think?

I just had that problem with my last quilt when the whole row was upside down. It was fixed before I finished quilting it, so when the child gets it I will feel alright knowing he will love it.

YES - I would want to know if there is a glaring error before the quilting is done. After the quilting - no. I would like to hear the information privately and kindly. Then I can decide whether to change it or not.
Excellent question!

Being a trying to conform perfectionist, I would probably already know there was a mistake. My luck would be that someone found one I hadn't noticed and that would upset me and I'd probably never display my quilts again. I figure that if a quilt is displayed without mention of asking for advice the quilter is proud of their sewing and is looking for confirmation that a good job has been done. Pointing out mistakes even when done to be helpful should be done in private.

It is staying there because I did heavy quilting. I still love it.
