Trying to figure out how to get the back to match the top in width and length. Cut the initial pieces too small. Had to add on the top and bottom. didn't com out right on one end, had to rip/ Then corrected that and while trimming up the cutter did a left tun out into the back. Time for an iron on patch and zigzag as not enough backing to cut a new piece. Ugh persevered but felt like I had put two quilts together.
Yup, had those days. Remember, the quilt is just a bunch of pieces of fabric. You merely added a few more pieces.
