Anyway--beautiful work as always! i love that you made this mistake and were willing to blog about it. and yes, i have certainly done some amazing things that i looked back at wondering what was i thinking–was i thinking? i think especially around putting our art up for display we are easily distracted. i have put the wrong labels on the wrong paintings (which was actually pretty funny because they were so obviously wrong and people were just very confused and too polite to say anything!)

Ha Ha Ha. I tend to make my mistakes while sewing the top. I sew my squares into groups, then sew those groups together. I often will turn one of the sewn groups around by accident, finish up the top, and don't notice my mistake until the piece is ready to quilt, if then. Not much can be done about it then. I might sew on a couple of appliques or do additional stamping to even out the mistake. I then either love the piece or stuff it into a drawer. I once did this to a large comissioned piece. I never admitted to my mistake. I think it came out quite well. The client loved it. By the way, your colors are stunning in this piece. I never make such mistakes. Ha Ha Ha.

Though, I suppose if I didn't know better it wouldn't bother me. BTW, I'm just loving bloglines - thanks so much for the recommendation. It's perfect for seeing who has a new post all in one place.

I have to make sure I put my signature in the right place because that's often the only way I can tell which side is up.
