    B for me. If you run a line of quilted down the seam line you will never know it was pieced unless you confess. Why do I aways have I confess, why?

The fabric came from my grandma's stash and is dated 1997, so it's not going to be easy to find more (though I did post a picture in the "in search of" forum just in case).

    Assuming I can't find it though, what would you do? I am two rectangles short.

    a) Pick a different color for just those two pieces.
    b) Stitch the shorter rectangles together and trim to make the right size, then quilt in such a way that maybe no one will notice.
    c) Buy some new fabric and redo all the rectangles for that color.
    d) Some other super smart idea that will make all my problems go away.


    Put a seam in the pieces that are wrong and use them. It can be your secret---------------probably won't show much if you try to match the pattern and press carefully.

    I would choose option A. Least amount of hassle! And makes the quilt unique.

    I would stitch the two rectangles together. No one will notice but you! Sorry about your problem, but know you are not alone. I have done the same thing.

    fabricdepot.com sells hard to find fabric. You just might find it there. If not, I choose option B also.

    I like color, so I would choose a different color and make them pop out!
