I rather agree with Dina! Folks who don't quilt might not mind it. Because your LAer used a panto, if you decide to remove the stitches, repair the boo-boo, and then requilt, I don't think it will be noticeable at all. So you have wonderful suggestions as to how to fix it. Of course, my first choice is to do nothing. Good luck.

So sorry this happened to you and I am sure you were sick to your stomach! Like many of the other QB members, it would drive me crazy and I am sure that if it were yours you wouldn't feel so bad. In my opinion, I would get out the old seam ripper and take out the block and redo it-then hand quilt or machine quilt that small area. One time a friend of mine did not like the way the LA quilter did her quilt so it was rip, rip, rip for 3 weeks (with help of me and 4 of her closest friends!) She had it re-quilted by another quilter and was a happy camper which I think you will feel more content if you redo it. Good Luck.

It took me a minute to find the "error". But it missed two critical eyes. You and your quilter, don't say anything to your client. If they don't notice it right away, point it out and if they are OK with it, your are good to go. If not, fix it.

I would carefully remove the quilting in those ares, and gently remove the incorrect blocks and hand sew them back in and follow the stitching pattern from the LA quilter. It should never show at all if you are careful as you do a repair. It would be just like any repair to a quilt. Good luck, your quilt is lovely

I have read somewhere that some Amish groups used to deliberately sew a mistake into quilt so that if someone said it was "Perfect" they could point out the mistake thus remain humble. Don't know if it' s true but maybe you could clam the piece is to keep you humble. I hope you know I am sick with sympathy for you but I thought a dumb solution might make you smile. God Bless
