OOOOH NOOOOOOOOO! Was it save-able???!!! I have nightmares about doing something like that, ever since I sprayed de-tangler in my hair instead of hair spray right before going to a wedding (at least it wasn't glue). As for quilting, I make so many mistakes it's not even worth trying to list them all.
Does anyone else have the perverse tendency to keep going even after you get the feeling that there is something wrong with the way you're doing whatever it is? My current project is a scrape quilt, and I started thinking it was ugly by the time I made 4 blocks. Now I have 25 ugly blocks and I seem to be headed toward the full 49, with no relief in sight. I guess we need an ugly quilt for the cats to shed on.
