that thought is what started the problems. When it came time to put the border on I did not have enough navy blue, I went to Joans to buy more and couldnt find the right color, so I went home cause I had some other dark blue I could use, but decided to go with this stuff my mother gave me. After I cut it and started to sew the strips together I noticed it was almost a satin on one side. I checked with my son and he said it looked cool so I used it. Oh god what a mistake. Then I didn't have backing fabric layed on the table correctly and as I was inserting the last 2 safety pins (pinned 10" apart, another mistake) I noticed it and decided I would just cut the border down when I was done quilting. Well I have one whole side with binding sewn down and my son is so happy.
