Probably most of us would admit to this! In the blocks I am not as conscientious about grain lines as I should be but on borders I have found it makes a great difference in the straightness and stability of the quilt when it will be quilted on a longarm. <BR/><BR/>Your log cabin is beautiful and I too had to look at it a second before I saw the problem. Some people have good internal "proofreaders" and some don't - I never have. I have a small wall quilt that is 1/3rd hand quilted containing a piecing error. Never did unsew all that and fix it. It went in the UFO pile.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-29829669361570406822009-03-28T03:04:00.000-07:002009-03-28T03:04:00.000-07:00This is going to be a stunner!

In 1997 I made a log cabin quilt 30's reproduction fabrics. Got it all together. Triple checked it for accuracy, sent it off to a very gifted Mennonite hand quilted. Got it back, put the binding on & a hanging sleeve. Entered it in our quilt show & was stunned when it took a blue ribbon. It was seen by 2 judges & hundreds of visitors. Long story short - no one, including myself,or the hand quilter found the incorrectly placed log cabin block. It is still one of my favorite humility quilts! It's great that you found this before it was quilted! Thanks for reading this long comment. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-80447044253483938302009-03-25T17:07:00.000-07:002009-03-25T17:07:00.000-07:00Wow is that every pretty.
