Oh boy, I tell ya... after it caught fire, I just literally stood there mumbling over and over... "Water, I need water." LoL! Never did move, just stood there staring and mumbling. Luckily, DH managed to actually do something and the damage was limited to a 20" square section. I was so heartbroken, that for 3 days I couldn't even fathom trying to fix it. But, decided I would not let it beat me anymore. It was my own design after all! I did replace that section and have been attempting to hand quilt it for going on 2 years now. Someday, it will get done and will be beautiful. LoL! It was originally named "Reflections on Water" but has since been renamed "Smoke and Mirrors" to honor the lesson learned. :lol:
