I was trying to hurry and finish a surprise quilt for my daughter who was visiting from out of state for Christmas. All I had left was the binding. Had it all pieced together, folded in half and pressed. Then when I pinned it on, I pinned it unfolded. And sewed it. And I knew it wasn't right but couldn't figure out what I had done wrong. Picked it all out, did it again, same way, it was horrible. I hadn't done a whole lot of quilts, but surely should have known better, but was tired and it was late. I made it look as good as I could under the circumstances, but it was awful.And then I machine zigzagged the edge down, which was just worse. She was thrilled with it, and didn't know there was anything wrong (thank goodness for total ignorance on the part of my family members as to what a GOOD quilt job looks like!!!).
