The center of this quilt is made of material that I cut off the bottom of curtains I bought for my boyfriends daughters room. He wanted the curtains shorter so I figured that I could use the excess to make everything match. The first quilt I made was for my oldest son and it was only a lap quilt. I'll post that one later, I don't have a picture of it right now. I asked advice on this quilt a while back and am just now getting around to showing pictures of it (oops sorry). The second oops ( even though I made more than just three): On the second to the last row I cut the material to short, so I ended up cutting a small piece of the white material with circles on it and sewing it in the middle of the row to keep it from being to short. I added the purple in the center on the last row to make it look like I meant to do that to the row before. The second oops: I messed up and cut the backing and the batting smaller then the quilt top. I didn't know how to fix it but ya'll helped me out. I was going to make a border of purple but I didn't want to have to go through the trouble of sewing the batting and more backing back on. I was also going to make the binding on all four sides different colors like the four colors in the quilt but I didn't have enough of each color to do that. I ended up cutting up the material I had in all different sizes and sewed them together randomly to make the binding. Thank you so much for your advice. Here should be my pictures.
