I screwed up royal the other day - I am working on the quilt from hell! I went out and bought some beautiful white on ecru 108" backing fabric. $17.99 a yard (15% off - Hancocks - beautiful backing). Well, my sashing is also white on ecru and I was cutting the sashing for the next chapter in the quilt. I was lining it up and thought "Golly, Gee, these are awful long sashes." Yup, exactly!!!!! I cut the backing fabric. One thing about me, however. I always buy 1/2 to 1 yard more of everything I buy that isn't a fat quarter. So, I met up with the lady from Hancock's and gave her the six slices of backiing and said "I am sorry, I don't know how to figure this one out. " I explained what happened and she got out her calculator, laid out the strips and very nicely said "Don't worry you still have plenty of fabric to use for the quilt." I could have kissed her!!!!!! I did God Bless You her though. It is now on my quilting frame, ready to start tying and I am going to use the cut stuff for my binding! It was cut 2-1/2" and I am all set and done with the cutting of the binding and didn't even know it! Make lemonade.......everything will turn out one way or the other!!!!! Edie
