Me, too. I'd add the extra piece at about 3/4 of the way down. Split it again a bit off center vertially and add another different strip. Will look like you planned it all along, and it makes a more interesting back. After all, when you pull the quilt up, you often see the back!

Been there and done that myself :-) so please don't feel alone.

You could use the added strip to leave a message for the intended owner, as well as make it the label. Just a thought.

Welcome to the club. LOL It happens but who else will know? You made the back like that on purpose didn't you. How clever you are. Sounds good huh?

Yep, member of the been there, done that club. I had my backing laying on the table. Pick it up thinking it was the left over piece. As I was tearing off a rather large piece, I realize it was the backing not the leftovers. Sew it right back on and laid it with the top.
