We all do it! Yesterday my husband was in my sewing room changing lights and yaking at me..I put the borders on the front of the quilt that was supposed to be on the backing..looks good so I just made the backing bigger! If you change it up it just becomes a personal design choice!

You're not dumb. We all have those moments that we say "I canNOT believe I just did that!". I prefer to think of it as intellectual overload.

Thank you everyone. Sounds like this boat is pretty crowded. LOL All is not lost. The backing will be pieced to fit and the wall hanging will be hung. Kicked myself into bed last night and up early this morning to fix everything. Words of encouragement were welcome.

It sound like you are just really anxious to see your finished quilt. Take a breath, get some sleep and move ahead. You will be fine, you will finish this quilt and I can only imagine that it will be beautiful example of your quilting skills.

Been there. Done that. Usually happens to me when I am tired and should not be trying to do anything that requires a brain.

Funny! I do dumb stuff in quilting all the time. I just shrug and either forget it or fix it.

Just add borders to the backing...it will look just fine. Pretty sure that we have all had a moment or two like this...
