OH NO!! You will find it when you least expect it. I often find things that I have lost inside other fabrics that I have recently refolded or sandwiched in a stack of folded fabric destined to be returned to the shelves. I have also found them on the vanity in the upstairs bathroom (lol) or in one of the bedrooms!! Just a side note here - I often use the beds in the guest rooms as a design wall as I do not have straight walls in my sewing room. Obtw .... love the quilt so far.
