Is it where you went to look at the binding colour? Did you fold it wrong side out? If so look for the backing colour not the lavender. I've lost things in my sewing room too and it isn't very big. It's so frustrating because you know it has to be in there. See this as a chance to reorganize the room because you know you won't be happy until you find it. Good luck on your hunt!

Did you fold it up with the backing fabric or batting maybe? Could you have decided something else after laying it down so it is in a container of some type "for safe keeping"?

That is so funny, but I think you are right :thumbup:

Did you happen to find yourself in a room and wonder "why did I come in here?", only to turn around and leave when you can't think of the answer? If so, perhaps that room is where you left the quilt! If it were me, I would probably check the linen closet...

That's called "Living in the Hereafter" as in What was I in Here After?

I lost a quilt block in a class with one other person we searched for like 20 min and low and behold it was on the design wall - I send good wish in finding your wayward quilt Top! :-)

My mother lost 3 or 4 quilt tops all at once. Called the police and told them my Dad's ex-wife probably took them. (This would have involved driving 300 miles across state lines to take a few 9-patch quilt tops?!?!) Filled out a report. She found them hanging in the closet where she left them a few months later.

Keep looking and don't get carried away.

I tend to put things in "safe" places - I find them at the oddest times.
