Been there and done that unfortunately. Got my quilt all cut out and put it away. Then somehow my borders got separated from the pieced top. Hobbled together some fabric odds and end that I had from the original fabric and finished the top. I was pleased but not as happy with it had I had the original borders. Lo and behold, the quilt comes back from the LAQ and as I go to put it up in the closet for binding...there are the borders! Could have split a gasket. Arrgh! Actually, I laughed!
