So, I'm quilting away on the baby quilt, and it's coming out nice. I was fairly happy with the result, until now. I'm probably 2/3 done with it. Tonight I noticed that the batting is WAY too short. I must have put it on the rack sideways, which seems odd because the sides are fine. I have no idea how this happened, but I can tell you that from now on I'm going to mark the top of the batting when I measure it. I know the measurement was right, because I laid the quilt on top of it on the floor before I made my cuts. I was tired when I loaded the quilt. I must have screwed it up then.
Now, I don't know what to do. I'm quilting fairly dense swirls, so I'm wondering if I can just add another piece in at the bottom? Should I join another piece by hand? Has anyone else done this?????! What to do, what to do..........................
