ffq-lar 3,583 Report post Posted August 1, 2014 "Try to find the oopsie" contest. There is a recent post concerning the quilt police and whether a longarmer is responsible for either fixing or notifying a customer of bad piecing or needed repairs on a top. I stated my opinion (which I may or may not follow---you know how you always want to please your customers ) Here's a Flickr link to a lovely Christmas sampler with one bad block. My customer didn't care, I quilted it and never told her where it was. She bound it to hang for the holidays. She challenged her 7 year-old grandson to find the bad block. It took him 3 weeks. Here's the contest--time yourself and when you find the oopsie, post your time here. The quickest eagle-eye will get their choice of gifts. Remember we have rulers, a book, and templates that we make, so have a go. It shouldn't be that hard to spot in a photo. ***Please time yourself from the first click on the link until you find the "bad block".*** (Count seconds--it might not take you long) Post your time. Don't post the location or description of the block--just your time. I think three days duration will give everyone a chance to win. This will close on Monday at 1pm PDT. The quickest time gets a gift. Here's the link. Go!! https://www.flickr.com/photos/larech/14617548997/ 1 whitepinesquilter reacted to this Quote Linda Rech Finely Finished Quilts Millennium on Bliss rails--hand-guided http://www.topperquilttools.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheagatzi 310 Report post Posted August 1, 2014 Okay, so I think I found it, and it took me 50 seconds. But I was too busy wondering if the problem was that a tiger should not have another animal in his cage with him. That should not happen!!! Also.
