Mad: Take a deep breathe! CherylW also needed a few extra hours so we are trying to mail out by Friday morning. When I read you slipped with the ruler, I had a picture of you cutting off your thumb. Whew, it was only fabric.
I can't even work on mine today because my daughter needed the power cord for my machine at work because she can't find the power cord for her machine. She stopped me mid seam.
So, take a few minutes. Have a cup of tea and clean up your mess. If it was me, I would pick up so new fabric and start over. This will be a wonderful quilt and you want to enjoy it.
Life is good.
