    Someone early on suggested just what I thought of when I saw the picture of your "mistake" (which looks like a decorative detail) --- replicate the same stitching at a few random spots along the border. It's a really cute quilt. Katie will love it.

    Suggestion, make the same design on the other side of the quilt, maybe three to a side and one on each end. Noone but you will ever know, except for this board and we won't tell.

    Here's another one - I finshed quilting a quilt with a plain backing, (like Kona, I think) and when I got it finished, I saw that the seam to piece the bak together was exposed instead of inside. I was horrified. So I just cut a small piece and hand stitched it overtop of the exposed seam. Not sure if anyone who didn't quilt realized the mistake, but now I check and DOUBLE check the way I sandwich BEFORE I quilt!

    I would leave it as it is. She will never know, and I think it looks perfectly fine. If you try to do more around he edges, you may not like that. I'd embroidery an initial or her name if you can. But I don't think it needs a thing. Really cute quilt.

    Hello and Welcome to the board :D:D:D

    I love that little triangle! I would repeat it randomly along the rest of the binding!
    Your quilt is very pretty, I really like those fabrics :D:D:D
