My Garden Block 3

Almost missed posting this - we've had a buy day today. Catherine and I bowled in a competition which started at 9.30 this morning. It was a lovely relaxed affair and we really enjoyed it. While that was going on Matthew was playing a football match (they won this week - yeh!) I had another game of bowls left to play when John came to pick Catherine up to go to kayaking - phew! what a busy Sunday. We've just come back from a lovely meal out altogether, it's been a really lovely day and the sun has shone as well :D

I've not stitched the little snail on yet - I'm seriously thinking of giving this quilt a wash once it's complete as there are a few pencil lines that I need to get rid of and it won't be good to wash it with the lovely buttons in place. Now - there is a HUGE mistake on this stitching, quite funny really and I did notice before it was too late but I decided to leave it as it is...what is it though?

 

I think it's not too obvious really and I decided that it didn't matter. When I was tracing the pattern, I was thinking how feint it was showing through the fabric this time...the reason for that was because I had the pattern the wrong side up so my tracing is back to front, lol! I think it makes for a unique quilt! I'll be having some time with the sewing machine tomorrow to put its Courthouse steps on and then this can go into the box with the other 3 blocks.

I spent a lot of time with a Scandinavian Christmas block yesterday - it isn't finished, there is a HUGE amount of stitching in those blocks...maybe sometime this week it'll be completed.

It's super cute Tree! I would have never noticed it was the wrong way round, it looks fine to me!! xxx

Absolutely beautiful! I now see that I forgot to make the surrounding line.
I did see the 'mistake' right away, due to the leave on the right (mine is on the left), but I don't think it is a mistake. It makes yours unique! It won't trouble the snail LOL

That's a gorgeos wee block, I don't see any mistakes at all.
