They say that Amish women when making a quilt make one error somewhere on the quilt so that there is imperfection in it. I would not have to had to put in an imperfection though. LOL..I would have had many imperfections within the work. I enjoyed reading your winner. Way to go. Congrats. Sara

I totally agree. It is why we shouldn't sue each other, in my opinion. We are human thus the term 'human error', plus I'm pretty sure if one achieves perfection they needn't be born again. Good write! All the best ... CayCay
