Katydids Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Oh no! your border section middle right is facing the wrong way! Just turn the quilt 45@ and tell them that was intentional, that it is the bottom of the quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraJ Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Welllllll, had to look really hard to find the boo boo. I like Patty's idea - make that the bottom or the top! It's still gorgeous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CindyT Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Boo boo or not, it's still gorgeous! If you don't get to fix it, let's hope none of the judges see this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarieBrewer Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 If you can't see it from a galloping horse, it's just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borderline Quilter Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 What a darn shame but it's only us that know so put the hanging sleeve on the right hand side as the photo stands and look at it again.....see what you think....it won't be half as obvious then, I wouldn't change it, but 'Man' I know you must be kicking yourself!

Quilting Heidi Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 OK so make her turn it so that border faces down and I'll bet most will never notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I didn't see it until others had posted. I agree, turn it 90degrees and say you planned it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage Keepsakes Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I didn't see a boo boo...what boo boo??? I'm with Patty, the photo of the quilt is just sideways, that's all. Seriously gorgeous quilting!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathG Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Shannon , it has taken me coming back and looking at the photo for 3 hours now. I would never have noticed if Patty had not said which area of the quilt it was, BTW beautiful quilt and quilting !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oma Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's beautiful...and you should feel very proud. It's a fairly small area and could be taken out if it gets to bugging you too much, but I say leave it and slap your forehead while shaking your head then laugh.

carolinequilts Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 It's very pretty! I agree with Patty - turn it on its side and call it planned! But, Shannon has a Quilter's Brain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswings Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I wouldn't have seen it if Patty hadn't told us. It is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreadWaggle Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Turn it 90 degrees and call it a design choice? Sorry Shannon, that is just frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaC Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 There are no mistakes in quilting, only changes in design plans! I'm with the others; I don't think a judge would notice it, so turn it 45 and and leave it as it is! It's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
