I make plenty of mistakes but only once have I done it intentionally. Last Christmas I made a couch quilt for my son's girl friend. She is a huge Chicago Bears fan and we are all die hard Vikings fans. I made her a Blue and orange Bears quilt but "ran out" of binding and had to finish with about 6 inches of Viking purple. she was shocked when she noticed it! I think we may be able to get her turned around yet!
