It never fails!!
......darn it! With every quilt I make I find that my seam ripper wants to come out and play! I just finished a queen sized tshirt quilt for my son's best friend who has been diagnosed with cancer. We decided to put minky on the back as a way of hopefully adding just a little bit more comfort into his daily life as he fights this monster called cancer. I've used minky on the back of my quilts before so its nothing new, but last night as I was laying out the top and back together on the floor (just to make sure there was enough extra for the quilter to be able to get pinned on the rack) I noticed that when I sewed my two pieces of minky backing together I had the nap going opposite directions. I was so thrilled to be able to get it to the quilter today that my thought was to just let it go as is.....it's gonna be a utility quilt and it won't be that big of a deal. Let me tell you! It gnawed at me all night.....I lost sleep just having it in the back of my mind! I put so much time into this quilt to make it just right for him and no way can I let it go like that! I decided to not walk out the door with it this morning and when I get home from work this evening, I'll take the two pieces apart and correct the nap issue. I'll feel better when I give him the quilt knowing that it will be right! I'll just have to take it to my quilter over the weekend instead! Isn't it funny how these things just eat us up inside until we make it right?!!!!!
