Mistakes

Once quite a few years ago I made a beautiful turqoise, blue and purple square in a square quilt for my brother in Ontario. I took the newly quilted top into the LQS (now closed) to get binding material. Turns out I had made a mistake and turned one of the blocks the wrong way. It had not been apparent to me, but when the quilt store owner "kindly" pointed it out to me I was mortified. Then I thought, well for Pete's sake I'm only human.... Well, I've done it again- on the third block for the Layer Cake Quilt Along.

This was not apparent to me until I took this picture...Yikes! Well I have no more of this fabric and won't buy some just to correct this "slight" mistake. So it stays that way...I can say I am practicing Liberated Quilting, right Carol? My sister in law is a fantastic Liberated quilter, and she knows I'm not so she may get a laugh out of this....


Today I cut out this (Domino with Fandango), and worked on this...

The pattern by Green Fairy Quilts called Strippin' Time with an older fabric called Charisma. I needed the bright colours to cheer me up, and it has helped. Now maybe I can get back on track, and get those Christmas cards made...before Christmas....

If it makes you feel any better, I had to look very hard to see what I think might be the mistake!

Hi,I spied your blog while surfing Quilting Daze's blogroll.
I'm doing the layercake QAlong too. I really like your block. I couldn't find the 'mistake' so I quit looking.
