Been there done that. I sewed the binding on three times-ready to trash the whole thing. Put it away and in two days was ready for the challenge. All turned out okay.

BTDT. I usually lay my top out as flat as possible and then take my backing fabric and fold and maneuver as necessary to get to where I need to be. Still doesn't always work but I've had more success than failure that way. Tomorrow is another day.
Ah, another wonderful day in the wonderful world of quilting!! Leave it, have a glass of wine and a hot bath, and things will be better tomorrow. My mom used to say (over and over and over).... this too shall pass!!

Buy a large bag of M&M's and call it a day. I put mine in the freezer, just love them so cold. (M&M's, not the quilts.) Not only do I like them better this way but no one else can find them either.

I know what you mean, I hate froggy (constantly having to rip out) and discombubalated (just can't do anything right) days!!! We all have them and it's okay to scream and throw it down and come back tomorrow!!! Ask me how I know....LOL
Been there, done that. Best advice..go have the chocolate
I hate piecing backs, I always get them turned around, even if I mark them. Of course, I usually have it half pinned before I discover it. I then have to wraggle it around so I can add a piece to it, that I have cut off the longer sides/ends. I try to get the wide backing fabric.

This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
The said, I always purchase 108" wide fabric and call it a day!!
I couldn"t keep the 4 colors on the rail fence in the right order. I gave it up for the day.
