BSKTLOFR-QUILTER

I'm really inexperienced in attempting to post pics only 2 uploaded. My challenging QAUG Log Cabin. It met several obstacles in it's making as it continued to grow, and grow and will only relate the bigger ones. I had to be very careful when putting it together due to the colors that I chose, as I switched the darks and light blocks. I discovered I didn't have enough fabric I bought in Vegas last spring which I wanted to be the main fabric so back to the drawing board. I pieced and quilted each section. I wisely laid out the blocks and took pics of the block placement. I thought I was being so efficient. After sewing the blocks together stepped back to review and discovered I switched the quilted blocks around in one section. What to do.. out came the seam ripper. As this quilt is nearing the finish line, I started running out of batting and backing. I used bamboo batting I bought at a quilt show special and was assured there would be enough for my quilt, even using the QAUG method. As I'm nearing the end it became very obvious both batting and backing was getting scarce. At the end I had just a very small scrap left over. I had this marvel idea that what this quilt needs are delectable mountain borders to surround my log cabin. Everything was sailing along smoothly as I put on the the last border and I was beginning to give a sigh of relief as I was pressing the second border when my iron surged hot as I was pressing and blew up. It scorched a hugh portion of 2nd border and delectible mountain. Heartsick I took a breather. Made the decision I had no choice but to take out the top damaged area, put new batting on top of the scorched one, fix the mountain and border section and go for it. I had redesigned the pattern after carefully measuring the bed to make sure it was going to fit. I quilted the borders free motion on my domestic machine. When finished the quilt is too long for a queen, not wide enough for king, and too small for a California king. It is laid out on a king. This is when I start questioning whether I am meant to be a quilter and the answer to that is definitely yes.
