I would add something too...if my mind was functioning better today
Jon but in the meantime I'll say that it the same thing when making a quilt..some artists deliberately put in a block with an error in it so the quilt can be identified as theirs. Well we say that when someone notices that a block is back to front wink

For me that would only work if the quilt could heve every block wrong (in which case it might actially be right, right? Right!) Doc Ricketts in one of Steinbeck's writings (the non-fictional one about Baja California ... coming in... coming in...? "The Log from the Sea of Cortez"?) mentions that his father had a quality of genius, not that he was a genius or anything like it, but that he had a *quality* of genius: he was *always wrong*.

Humph! Sounds like any other father to me...

If every block was wrong, then it would be a totally different design and not 'wrong' at all but also, it wouldn't be an example here, would it?

Can you pick the 'deliberate' mistake in my Quilt?

Something seems off in the south-central.

counting from the bottom, in row 3, it's the middle right-left 'arrow' that has one of its blue pieces swapped with the gray.
