Then there are those people who will just shrug their shoulders and
say "Ah well" and continue past the mistake thinking that no one will
notice. Unfortunately, I am one of those people who would always know
that it was there and wouldn't be happy about it. jennellh

LOL! Ever notice that those types usually wind up with a LOT of those
mistakes that nobody will notice? 8^D
Not that there's anything WRONG with that. When I finally take hands
to machine, I'm sure I'm going to wind up with what I think is a
textbook example of mistakes that nobody but me will notice that is
actually a textbook example of mistakes that everybody BUT me will
notice, and I'll be damned proud of it. Either way it's really going
to be something to behold - either awe-inspiring or aw-ful!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That's ok; that's how some of us learn, and in a way I
think I'd rather deal with all my mistakes at once rather than one at
a time... YMMV.

I can't answer that since I don't know the lady in question - I'm
waiting to hear back via 'our mutual friend' whether she wants to take
the quiltmaking further. I did also mention in my response that a
smaller item is better for a first attempt so that she can say
"finished is good!" I don't know anything about her previous
experience in sewing or creating, methodology or inspiration. I also
don't know where the 3 quilt block photos originated from either.
