It took we awhile to find it, so I would say that isn't bad. I did have a thought, that was to hang it over a pole with that end hanging over to the back, then no one would know it. Just the same I like the quilt.

I had to search really hard to find any errors. The quilt is absolutey lovely. All of my quilts have some sort of "happy accident" in them, but what the heck I don't quilt for shows, just for the people I love. Each stitched with love and that's what counts.

It looks to me like the perfect representation of my "fibrofog". I couldn't describe it or draw a better depiction of it if I had to. Smiles. There are the nice clear areas that work perfectly and blend right into the blurred areas so smoothly that you don't even realize you are blurry at first. If I had the budget, I'd offer to buy it from you just for this very reason!!!! Well and also because it is lovely.
Hugs and smiles,

They are jumping out at you, but not anyone else. We have all done it and it can be frustrating but I'm sticking with the "Amish" on quilting, only God is perfect. It has been said they purposely make a mistake, well I don't have to try to plan a mistake I just make them. It's a really nice quilt and only you eye in on it's imperfections.

OH this is lovely!!! It's a perfect example of how God takes our lives & makes 'em beautiful! He has all the "pieces" of our lives on the design board. His plan is perfect. As he's sewing our lives together we take & mix up our pieces, Then if we let him, God takes 'em, works in our lives & sews 'em together! Despite ourselves beautifully, God's handiwork always comes out lovely!
You made me think tonight.

I did not look for mistakes. I just saw the beautiful colors and the overall beauty of the quilt. Everything in nature is not "perfect" except that which is loved. Don't count mistakes, just acknowledge the beauty. Blessings.
