I'll blame it on cognitive fog, if I can. I made this for a neighbor who very much needed some encouragement. I got it quilted and bound, snapped a picture, and then hurried it to her. Only after I got home and looked at the picture while filing it away, did I see the error. Laugh for the day.

I see what you mean but it is for sure that it wasn't made in some factory. All my projects have a little mistake here or there. It's beautiful

Both the colors & design are lovely.I like that little extra purple in the lower right hand.:)

It made me smile and that is always a good thing when viewing someone's work.

I'd call it "Rulebreaker" or "Quilt Telling Me What To Do!"

When I make a mistake I often call it "an alternate design choice."

It’s simply beautiful. I couldn’t find the “error” right away. Let’s call it your signature

Hey, we're not machines, we're humans, we all make them someplace. Beautiful quilt for that "lucky to have you" neighbor! Be satisfied within that you completed it and gave it to your friend.

My favourite colour. I really had to look to see what you were talking about. That’s not a mistake, its quilting engineering at the highest level, and if you are going to make a mistake, what better colour to do it in. Beautiful as always. 🤗

The mistake is so well hidden that unless you point out the mistake i would never notice it and think it was done on purpose. It's beautiful!

All I see is a great gift from a nice neighbor.

This quilt is lovely as well as a beautiful, meaningful gift. Stop the self-criticism. Many great artists sign their work; the little extra in the design is your signature. Somewhere I recall reading a moral about making deliberate errors because only God is capable of perfection.
