Wow--bet there were tears on both ends of that phone call! Lots of great suggestions for a quick quilt. I just can't picture this accident on a customer quilt though--when I get a quilt it goes immediately to my studio and either stays bagged in plastic--on a table-or if it's next up, I will put on design wall to start mulling over quilt design. No cats--but dogs, which are not allowed in studio. And I took advice of mentor when I started LA--I never have more than 4 in my house waiting cause accidents do happen.
