i'm so glad you didn't make it a UFO. I'm impressed that you figured how to fix it without tearing it all apart.

Will have to remember this trick when I pull out the one in the closet and finish it.

I have done this too! It's like the dirty little secret in quilting. If it doesn't fit...find a place to hide a pleat!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done this, LOL. And when you do it well, it can be really hard to find later!

Sometimes you just have to think outside the box! Kudos to you for coming up with such a creative solution!
