Well your aren't alone in this. I had bought a 1/2 yd piece of fabric to finish the binding on the baby quilt for my DD & when I went to finish it up, couldn't find the darn thing! So I substituted a solid turquoise piece & she was A)Happy it was done, and B)loved the way the turquoise tied the colors together. Who knows when I'll run into that remnant? LOL, when I do, I know I'll say to myself, why didn't I think of looking there before?
