Yesturday, I was making headway on my Purple Stars quilt. I had the day to work on it. Things we're going along smoothly. With every block, my free motion quilting is improving. Yay! Here is a picture of the ribbon design I am using on the star points. I am liking all that I have done so far.
I have only one more row to quilt. Yay!!! I am cheering myself on, while listening to a romance audiobook on my iPod. I am seeing the end of the tunnel. I roll up the quilt and thought to myself wooh, nothing like cutting it close for the batting.............
*#%^{*}^#%#^{*|+[^{^=+*^%. That was before I notice where the leader clip was. I just wanted to cry. I am 6" short on the backing. How did this happen? This was a pre-packaged backing that was 108" X 108" and my quilt is not. I should have had more than enough backing! Did they cut it wrong? Has anyone else had this problem?
I should never have assumed it was the right size (measure twice theory). Looking on the bright side.....learning how to handle adding pieces to a partially quilted quilt, and learning how to reload a quilt after it has been mostly quilted, is good......lol.
There is always a bright side, if you look hard enough......if you don't find it, make it up. Lol. So long as you deal with it and don't give up.
