Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I can't believe I did this.
I decided to try a quilt as you go for the first time. I made my blocks, layered each block with batting, and quilted it. Then sewed the blocks together.
I went to put the backing on and out of habit I layered it with backing and batting. So now I have two layers of batting. Everything is glued together with Elmers but I haven't quilted it together yet. I plan to just quilt next to the ditch on each row/column.
Do you think it will be ok? Sure will be warm.
I don't want to brag but I can still fit into the earrings I wore in high school.
Let me know how it turns out. I think it'll be fine, but I KNOW it will be warm!
As for me, I had a very serious "senior" moment the other day. I was thinking very hard about something and, at the same time, turned the garbage disposal on and started to put my hand in it to push the garbage into it.
Luckily, I caught myself before my hand was actually in the garbage disposal.
God was certainly with me at that moment!

A quilt is like a good life. It's full of mistakes, but, in the end, it looks pretty good.
That was a close call!Originally Posted by cathyvv
now that just made my knees weak!
I hope it works for you, I think it will be hard to sew through all that thickness but you will have a very warm quilt. Cathyvv you were so lucky not to get badly hurt. I guess we seniors do some very unusual things sometimes I know I sure do more all the time.
didn't do that yet but had senior moments with my quilting that made me wish I could kick my behind, omg cathv good thing you you didn't get hurt I don't have a garbage disposal but I was slicing tomatoes and as I picked up the salt shaker I open it and poured the whole salt shaker on the tomatoes ugh what was I thinking
I do the same thing with pepper .
I just had one thT lasted nearly a week. While making a peasant top for myself, my hand slipped and I cut a small hole, just off center, at the top of the front of the blouse. I spent five days trying to figure out how to make a flower Applique to hide the boo-boo. On Fridat I got the idea to put an applique butterfly on the flower, but could not figure out a fabric flower that did not stick out in the center front of my chest. Last night, while doodling flowers, it hit me. Duh, no flower, just the butterfly appliqué! The shirt will be done tomorrow.
If you always do, what you have always done, The results never change. Change is the wings you give yourself.
You made my day! I hope you are able to resolve the issue. Just know that we all have those moments...
It'll be nice and warm. Just stitch slowly!
