The only problem with tearing out the fmq and fixing the block is if I mess up any of the fabric I don't have enough of the color fabric to make a new block so I am going to go with the majority of the comments and let it go as it is. My heart was in the right place, it is just that my mind messed up. Thanks for the comments.

It's the thought that counts. If mom says it's fine, I'd believe her.

I think you have your answer from the mom. What a gracious young woman she sounds like.
Plus what a generous co-worker you are to make quilts for all those new babies!

Good job and I think the second one looks like a Jack in the Box. I might applique a little head popping up from the box.

They say God is the only one that makes perfect things, I wouldn't do any thing to it. If you keep it like it is, they will
be able to tell the quilts apart to know whose is whose.

i think they are great quilts and since the Mom is aware and does not mind...I would leave it alone...we all make mistakes and I live with a lot of mine since I do not like ripping and redoing...this baby will not care and will not even notice...lol...I think it is wonderful that you do this and appears the Mom appreciates it

This myth (at least I hope so) always grinds me. Really no one is perfect, not even the Amish.

Brilliant!
