ffq-lar Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheagatzi Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share 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. Do snowmen sing?

Lemon Tree Tami Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Okay, guess I'm the odd man out here but after 3 minutes of looking I can only see one thing that I would have fixed but not sure that's the real mistake or not. ;-) Can't wait for the contest to be done so that I can find out what it was.
