Of course! Who was it that said we are our own worst critics?? I can pick out my mistakes in a flash..but never anyone elses. My goal is to have my quilts loved and adored ~ never perfect. I tried it that way...I never got any finished. This was just SOO obvious that I wasn't sure what to do. All I had to do was look at Emily's face when i said I didn't think I would finish it....I'm so glad I did... :D

Someone who really wants a quilt isn't just looking at all the details. They want it simply because you made it; it's a part of you and came from your heart. :wink: She will love and cherish this quilt even with the "lost" block because you gave it to her.

If I waited to do a perfect quilt, I would have thrown all mine away so far! It is a beautiful quilt just like it is! :thumbup: :D

I think it gives a special flavor to the quilt, like folk art! I like it a lot. Glad you finished it.

I can see why Emily loves it so!! It's an awesome quilt and really does look like it was planned to be that way from the start. Great job on finishing it in two yrs. I'm working on one that's going on four yrs. and the pattern isn't that hard. Just not in the mood to get it finished.
