Apparently the Amish would purposefully “make a mistake” when they would make a quilt. The idea behind this is that we as humans are imperfect; only God is perfect. When we are able to admit to ourselves that we can not “do it all”, that we can not “be all things to all people”, we open up our hearts to God. We admit to God that we need Him, that we trust Him, and that we realize we are not capable of accomplishing the purposes of life without God’s help in our lives. It seems there is a valuable lesson in this practice by the Amish.
