Yes, I will show you a mistake. Why not, I don't love it but I said "That, right there, is something that shows this was guided by human hands!"
What happened? I lost my path and got a variation. It is a flower and not all flowers are perfect.
Go on, go outside and check them. Are you back yet? Ha ha.
And if you make a mistake -embrace the Oops - maybe repeat it a few times and then it looks like you meant to do it.
Sometimes, I do simple quilting patterns that give me a rest break in a section. This one in the dark fabric is super easy. It is a "straight" line (sorta straight anyway) and a curvy line. You can do variations on this by using 2 straight, 1 curvy OR two curvy and one straight OR make up your own variations.
You don't have to be consistent with it either. The quilt gets quilted and the variety adds a bit of interest, especially if you are doing it on the entire quilt. As I was typing this I realized that if you were doing a full quilt with just this idea you could alternate straight into curvy on a single line. Then alternate the next line with the opposite of the first one. OR line up 2 (or 3) the same and then do one all curvy (or straight) and make it even more interesting. Okay, so now you see a bit how my peculiar mind works.
If you are looking closely, you will see that each section is a bit (or a lot) different than the one next to it. One of my rules is to do a section in curves and use straight lines in the next section. Of course, I can break that rule if I want to break it. As long as the entire quilt gets quilted I am happy.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

"Embrace the Oops" is good advice! "Oops" make quilting interesting - and I have made some very interesting quilts - LOL - ;))
I love your quilts, so arty and different! Valerie
You are an expert in making quilts
Oops just means that we are human. Nice human touches.
That is a GREAT philosophy, Gene. I'm going to embrace the OOPs, not just in my crafting but in other areas as well.
Errrgggg... I wrote a comment and microsoft edge hiccupped and it is now lost. I said something like I never see mistakes in your art. My tribe teaches that one must always make a mistake as not to feel above Earth Maker. BTW. I will be wearing the Voodoo hat and will sell it if someone wants to pay the price. LOL Have a great evening.
