I finished off this ground tarp today. I made a major mistake in my rush to get it done but it's still functional.

It looks fine to me. What was the mistake?

I can't say just yet - I have a contest to win some Ti nail pegs over on my Facebook page for the first person who gets it right.

Ok someone guessed correctly - I have the seam and reinforcement facing out on one side. No major problem, mostly aesthetic. Because the ridgeline is sewn with polyester binding tape, you have to hem the two sides separately before sewing the ridgeline, and I didn't even give it a thought as I am so used to making symmetric tarps.
