I thought I'd finished piecing this baby quilt, minus the borders. It wasn't until I'd looked at the picture that I realized something was wrong. It isn't too obvious, I'd looked at it time and again on my design wall, but it's there.
I considered leaving it, but in the end I just couldn't. I just had to take that part of the quilt apart and fix it.
I'm always amazed how piecing that looks like we think it should shows up on a photograph. Sometimes even more in black and white. That's my quilting hint for the day - photograph your "finished" piecing, set the photo aside, then look at it again in a few hours. The next day is even better.
Hint: to find the error, look at the seond row, far right. Those little lion heads look like they are vertical. The other lion head blocks look horizontal.

Isn't the choice to "fix or leave" always the dilemma? Knitting and crocheting are my crafts and my nursing school roommate who taught me to knit said her mother's advice was, "If you want to knit you must be willing to rip."
