Hehehehehe been there and done that one! The lost cause I have one that I have been shrinking I should have let go of it a couple years ago as a lost cause. It is in pieces that have been getting smaller and smaller as I take it apart into smaller sections. Now it is sitting in a bag needing to be totally remade. I don't know when to stop on it and give up. At least you have only an 18x21" piece this is a shrinking queen size quilt.. It is kind of like the little engine that could??????
