The quilt is gorgeous! Lucky GD. This happened to me on the quilt I have on my frames right now. The backing actually split from the pressure. After wiping all my tears, I slipped a piece of stitch witchery along the tear, then ironed and did some extra stitching. The quilt is almost ready to come off the frame, and so far, everything is in place. Learned a lesson .....always check the strength of your backing.
