Of course, I am not a well-known quilter, but that is what happened to me. My blue quilt has been known as the "Snowflake" quilt since its' start as a thought. Well, as I was quilting one of my outside borders, my quilt got a new name.
"Snowflakes and Daisies"
What? It is really quite simple. I decided to do a "loops and snowflake" meandering in a couple of the outside borders. But, after I quilted the first snowflake--I looked and it was definitely a daisy.
Well, truth be known, I was too lazy to rip it out so I just continued to make loops and daisies. Therefore, my quilt was renamed.
Now, if I was quilting this to give to someone, I would have taken the stitches out. But since I will keep it myself (or maybe give it to Craig), I wasn't worried about it and continued to make daisies.
So what do you think? Do you think mistakes often become really grand ideas?
Yes I do but what do I know.
ReplyDeleteOf course they do! And your daisies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I don't rip for myself or family either. LOL
I have done some of that "creative" stuff too but mine usually come when I am piecing!!!
ReplyDeleteThe daisy's look great. My mistakes come in the piecing - I bet a lot of people do that too.

My mistakes are MISTAKES !! LOL
ReplyDeleteTrue, blue MISTAKES !!
You should have seen the ones I've made while doing the longarm yesterday.
BUT - the MISTAKES took on an entire life of their own and now I'm the only one that knows the "LIFE" started out as a mistake...LOL....
Love the daisies! Wouldn't dream of ever ripping them out!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cindy above, my mistakes are MISTAKES! But your daisies are pretty, pretty.
