Big Oops

Chances are no one else will notice the mistake unless you point it out. Chances are you won't notice the mistake when you are done quilting. I would just finsih the quilt and send it off. The recepient will be very happy since the quilt is made with love. Please show us a picture of the finished quilt.

I have given quilts with a square turned wrong, color in wrong place, little pleat in backing, etc. Each and every one was received with thanks and awe at my "master" quilting abilities. Of course, these are non quilting friends. But I think even if I gave it to a quilting friend, they too would be thrilled. I know I would. Finish it up, wrap it up and give it with love.

At that point I'd say it was just... artistic liberty? LOL. Let it go. If it took you, the maker that much to see the mistake, I doubt anyone else will. I'm sure the quilt is gorgeous! And I'm VERY sure it will be appreciated no matter what.

I did the same thing when making a signature quilt for a friend's church. Made 2 new squares and applicated them on top of the ones going the wrong way. Did some faux quilting on the top so it would match the rest. No ever knew they were there.

This is just my response to doing the same thing to a quilt I made for my sister. I had finished hand quilting the quilt but hadn't put on the binding yet when I noticed my mistake. I knew this would bother me for the rest of my life if I did not fix it so I took out the hand quilting, took out the patch, rotated it and appliqued it back in and re-handquilted it! I knew I wanted my sister to have the best quilt I could make!!! So, really it is up to you how you feel about it!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would not change it now. My quilting mentor, Hollie, told me, "nobody will see it and if they do they probably won't understand. Go on and finish it and do better next time. Only the quilt police would cause a scene and you know what we think about them
