I'm not sure how this happened, but somehow I ended up with excess skinny pie-shaped bit of fabric on my backing. It's about 16 inches long and grows from about .5- 1.5 inches wide long folded over.

My first mistake was sewing the binding to the back and bringing it to the front (meant to do the opposite). GRRRR. But that isn't really an issue now. It's the aesthetics on the back. I don't like how you can see the pie shaped excess.

Do I simply sew it down by hand with white thread and call it done?

or

Do I undo the binding along that 16-18" side, unsew, trim, resew, rebind?

Either way a seam will show that's about a 30 degree angle to the edge.

or...

Do I incorporate a label to cleverly mask the flub?

Or something else you could think of?

My friend who will be receiving this for chemo treatments is not a quilter , so won't be inspecting it for faults, but I do want to be proud of it. All I saw is this fault that's glaring at me, and I'm just not sure what to do.

Please help! I know you all have seen and heard just about the mistakes out there, so I'm sure (hoping) this isn't the first of its kind.

Hold on a sec for pictures.
