Did this with a quilt block once. Took it with me to LQS to match sashing. Got home, went to get it, couldn't find it for the life of me. Called shop, nope didn't have it. Gave up and was going to see if I could get more material and make another one. Thought I would check one more time. Finally hit me I had bought another pattern that day and yup I had folded it and put in the envelope so I wouldn't lose it. So it will show up, just on it's terms.
