I make mistakes all the time, especially while quilting. Most
of them I catch and correct before I press the seam. Some elude me until I take
a photo. The seam ripper comes out, and everything is put right. If you think
this snowman looks familiar, you’re right. I posted one very similar last
November. He was part of a series of monthly door banners that kept me entertained
(and mostly out of trouble) a full year. After I got that snowman back from the
quilters and bound it, I set it on top of the stack of other finished door
banners. And it was NOT THE SAME SIZE. April through December were all 20x36”
and January was 3/4" shorter. I hadn’t noticed until the quilt was completely
finished, but once I saw my error, I couldn’t UNSEE it. So, I’m making another
one. The “short” quilt will be donated to someone who won’t see my mistake.
