I was just finishing my pin basting a queen size quilt and discovered the last corner was crooked and the backing doesn't cover it. Why didn't I notice it was too long somewhere else....grrrrrrr :thumbdown:
I am going to get that pin helper gadget before I continue. My finger is bloody from pinning. :cry:

All is not lost! I LOVE pieced backs! My most special quilts all have them :)

[quote=TonnieLoree]Can you piece in enough to make it fit. Even if it is a different color, it is the back. Put a label over that area.
-----------------------------------------
That was my idea also. Put a large, lovely label on it giving who it's for, who it's from, the date and where it was made. Then put batting behind it and make it look like a design area.
When life hands you a lemon, make a lemon cream pie!!! And use the skin for flavoring cookies.
Now go and make that quilt end up as lovely as you saw it in your mind, and show it to us. Sounds neat.
