yeah, i was almost re-living it with you, as i was reading. I will definitely be careful of this. We work so hard and then in an instant, some little thing...and then you slaved away and look how beautiful. What a relief. So glad you shared with us. Such a pretty quilt. :D

Sorry that happened to your pretty quilt but it sounds like you fixed it up. No one will ever know.

OMG - what a thing to happen but as usual you had a bright idea to fix it!

I've seen this Top in the flesh guys and it's even more beautiful than the pics show!

The quilt is now finished (apart from a label to cover the small hole on the back!).
It was hard getting photos of the fmq. I didn't use too much of contrasting thread as its my first quilt with fmq. There are some wobbles and variations in stitch lengths, but I know there are no police here!
Hope you like it.

It is flat - just the way it lays on the table!
