    You could name it Only God is Perfect. However, as inexperienced as I am, I'm not sure where the mistakes are. I think it is very beautiful and you should hang it proud. I have never seen a quilt that I didn't like. Some I liked more, some not so much, but the thought, the feel and the love are what really make them beautiful in my eyes. Of course I only see with one eye, but I'll bet if I had two good eyes I would still feel the same. Thanks for sharing!

    Me times three. I think it's fabulous! And it's not a mistake... it's a happy accident!

    In most of my quilts when I first started, I'd accidentally put a couple pieces upside down. I laughed about it and said it was the way I worked. We aren't perfect and we all make mistakes. Usually when it's right infront of you, you don't see them. It's when you stand back, or take a picture of it, then you notice them. The quilt is still beautiful and I wouldn't let it bother you.

    I don't see any mistakes. I just see a gorgeous quilt.

    The mistakes didn't really jump out for me at all....I had to look hard. I think it's gorgeous!

    I applaud your humble attitude! It takes a courageous person to point out their mistakes to the world and I bow to your courage. I love your color combination and your spirit. Thanks for sharing.

    It's a lovely quilt. I am sure most of us have made errors like the minor ones in this quilt. I certainly have. Of course, the moral of the story is not to rush, is easier said than done. I recall someone telling me an ancient Roman saying, "festina lente" or "make haste slowly".

    I really like it. In fact I think it looks intentionally pixelated (or however that could be spelled if it is even a word). Maybe it is not the way you intended, but it is a very nice quilt. I hope you learn to love it. Don't keep it for yourself if it will always bother you. Life is too short to surround yourself with anything but the things you love.

    That is a beautiful quilt. Don't call it a mistake, call it your ordinary design.
