    I for one have always said that "mistakes" are what make a quilt unique, I can always pick apart my own work, I think we are our own worst enemys sometime. I love the way this quilt seems to turn, be proud, it is truly lovely!!!

    I don't see a problem, but Kaye Woods has a free video on strippping, cutting and sewing the texas star.

    That is awesome. What an optical illusion. Your mistake turned out great. My mistakes never look like that.
