Oops!!

Well after my bragging in the last post - I discovered a mistake!!
I was sitting having my breakfast on Monday and the blocks were draped over one of the dining chairs and I was admiring them (as you do LOL) and I realised I had sewn one of the stitchery blocks on back to front!! It's the little snail block - if it was any of the larger blocks I think I would have noticed it as the back of my work is not too tidy! I just can't believe I had sewn it all together and even ironed it without noticing LOL


So I got to use my new unpicker from Dawn Hay in our swap and I had to do a bit of repair work!!



all fixed now!!

Boy are you lucky you found that now and not after it was quilted. I'm off to check mine.I agree with the others-neat stitching.

Anita said...

Thanks everyone, trust me that one is probably the neatest one LOL
Most of my stitcheries have lots of threads crossing over and carried over on the back as I am too lazy to tie it off and start a new thread!
I am so glad I found it now and not when it was quilted!!

That is what happens. I made a mistake myself also and couldn't understand why I didn't see it at once. But now your quilt looks beautiful.
