Thread: Now I know why people put patchwork stripes on the back of their quilts.

Nope - Never! Yeah, right . . .

Yes, I once cut a panel right in half. There was no saving it. Really shredded the edges when I did it. So I "fussy cut" some of the images out of the panel and used those, along with some other fussy cut pieces from my stash. I honestly have to say I think it turned out better than just having a panel on the front! More "handmade" than just thrown together with a panel. So in the end, I was kind of glad I did it, even though it meant more work. As my Mother used to say: "When life hands you lemons, made lemonade!"

I had this happen to me one time. I learned the hard way, so now I am extra careful when opening the packages.

Another wonderful thing about the QB, we all learn from each others mistakes. Yours today, mine tomorrow, and tomorrow and you get the idea

Yes, so true!
