Error? dont see one, it looks very pretty.
It's so pretty and I don't see a mistake either. Hugs
I am just no good at stitchery.....maybe I should give it another go....that is so lovely.
It's not an error it is your interpretation of the pattern. It looks so pretty. Patricia
The error, The barber shop sq,sround the side ,the pattern said 1 7/8 inch sq,s I cut mine 2" so I could square them up after stitching. Before I got around to trimming the sq,s a neighbour came to see me , I got side tracked, so when she had gone I resumed putting the tablemat together , but, I hadn,t trimmed the little sq,s back to 1 7/8 inch . rather than make another 32 little sq,s I added a piece all around the centre stitching ,There is a lesson here --even 1/8 of an inch will throw your pattern into chaos--cottonreel
Just such a little learning experience makes your project your own! It is beautiful, and not a soul would have noticed! Focus on the good, leave the bad where it belongs, unnoticed. Your blog is wonderful. I especially like the black and white quilt with the branches! It is georgous! -Cori
Thank you all for your kind comments--cottonreel
Oh, that little mouse is too cute. This is just lovely! Hugs, Paulette ;)
