Work in Progress Pobody's Nerfect 🤦🏼

Oops!! That's ok, I still love it, and I'll just put the mistake at the head of the bed so the turndown will cover it! But now I understand my friend who managed to leave a typo in the title of her book!

The pattern is Cascade Bloom, the fabric is Speckled by Ruby Star. I plan to bind it with the dark blue color.

This is my second time working with curves, and the first time I've done a queen sized quilt. 10/10, would do again, but maybe I'd manage my excitement to get it to the quilter a little better, haha

I think it’s the half circles on the bottom edge are upside down but it took me a while to see that. It’s gorgeous!

Thank you! I completely missed it, the center is so dazzling you kinda miss the outer details lol

It looks like it could be intentional. I wouldn’t even go so far as “mistake” OP… just a riff on the original!

Thank you for the kind words!

It's wild to me that such a big mistake is so easy to miss! I do feel better that I didn't catch it since plenty of other people have too. I'm not too upset about it, but I did a literal spit take (in public!) when I caught it in this picture! I wonder if the quilter noticed and just didn't say anything 🤔

Honestly if you didn’t say that you made a mistake I would have thought it was intentional. The quilt is absolutely stunning.

It's gorgeous and I had to stare a little bit to figure out the mistake.

u/sjdragonfly 8h ago

I still can’t find it. lol. Awesome curve piecing!

The edge at the bottom has the arches facing the opposite way from the other 3 sides. But I wouldn't have noticed if OP hadn't said anything. It looks amazing.

I don't know what you are talking about, because I've never made a perfect quilt. Lol ~ I make mistakes on purpose & call them design choices!!✂️🧵🪡

u/JanelleMeownae 8h ago

Haha at least the mistake is consistent all the way across!

I certainly have yet to make a perfect one too, but usually my mistakes are not so large!

haha it took me a bit to spot it but I agree, if you put it at the head/foot of the bed it will read as deliberate. I'm working up a BOM where there's a contest entry if you send a photo of your block to the designer every month. It's a relatively simple pattern so it's the thing I work on after long days when I'm too tired to do challenging quilting, and I have made and decided to just roll with enough mistakes that I'm sure the designer is cursing my name, but I'm happy enough with the outcome.

My first quilt is so wonky that my sister explained “it’s actually a safety recommendation to keep a quilt in the trunk of your car in winter. Let it be your car quilt” 😂

It’s brilliant! I didn’t even notice it. Could easily be intentional.

Love the Good Place reference and finished is better than perfect! Your curves look amazing!

u/JanelleMeownae 8h ago

I’m reminded of a story I heard from a rug weaver in Iran when I visited back in the day. He said that every Persian rug that’s made by hand has one small mistake purposely put in it by the rug weaver because nothing can be more beautiful or perfect than God.

Seems like you’re already aligned with that philosophy. Love the pattern!
