I made two versions, but you're only going to see ONE. Just as I inserted the second photo in my blog today, I noticed a glaring error. I should never have looked, I'm sooooooooooooo sad. Dh says "chalk it up to experience." I left out an entire row of inner border.
Yes, I know, "We've all done it."
Yes, I know, "It's your humility piece." AND HOW. I knew they weren't the same. I knew for some reason they weren't the same size, one came out more rectangular. I never, ever stopped to look at them to see why tho. (grumble, grumble)
I don't know which of two brother's families received which table topper. I couldn't get to any decision of who should get which. I'm mortified tho, and that's something that goes way under the skin.
I'll pull on my big-girl-panties now and move on.

Lesson I learned - No matter how hard you try, nope girl, ya ain't perfect.
Something that made me happy today - Two gifts created with my own hands, for ones I love.
Bonus - Using mostly stash for my gifts! 8^)

Something like that happened to me too last year. I finished my vintage shabby chic quilt which I was madly in love with. It went to the quilters and after I put the binding on, I took a picture. That is when I noticed it wasn't square. I had left off a border on 1 side only and just think, the quilter and I never caught it. So now I double check. I sent it to my daughter and if I wouldn't have said anything, I doubt she would have noticed either. Seems like such a waste after all that work. Hey, like you said, it happens to everyone at least once. And it is something I don't plan on doing again! Nancy in WI
Oh well. Whaddaya gonna do. Give the gift anyway I'll bet she never notices.
I had wanted to make this quilt but didn't even get started. So now I'll shoot for 2009 Christmas. Yours is very pretty.
Well, I looked and looked and I couldn't find the error of your ways. Guess it isn't too bad!
Keep on piecing -- life is only perfect in heaven.
