I remember saying, "Oh, I'll just put it in here . . . everything will have to be cleaned out anyway." To this day, we have never see the pink fabric again. Every closet and every drawer in my house was emptied and cleaned. It is as though it vanished . . . I had bought the cutest print for the backing and still haven't finished the quilt . . . don't have enough of the fabric left to cut more and can't stand the thoughts of using anything else. But it helps to know that I am not the only one that has stuff disappear! LOL
