Another senior moment
 

I can't believe I did this.
I decided to try a quilt as you go for the first time. I made my blocks, layered each block with batting, and quilted it. Then sewed the blocks together.
I went to put the backing on and out of habit I layered it with backing and batting. So now I have two layers of batting. Everything is glued together with Elmers but I haven't quilted it together yet. I plan to just quilt next to the ditch on each row/column.
Do you think it will be ok? Sure will be warm.

Let me know how it turns out. I think it'll be fine, but I KNOW it will be warm!

As for me, I had a very serious "senior" moment the other day. I was thinking very hard about something and, at the same time, turned the garbage disposal on and started to put my hand in it to push the garbage into it.

Luckily, I caught myself before my hand was actually in the garbage disposal.

God was certainly with me at that moment!

I hope it works for you, I think it will be hard to sew through all that thickness but you will have a very warm quilt. Cathyvv you were so lucky not to get badly hurt. I guess we seniors do some very unusual things sometimes I know I sure do more all the time.

didn't do that yet but had senior moments with my quilting that made me wish I could kick my behind, omg cathv good thing you you didn't get hurt I don't have a garbage disposal but I was slicing tomatoes and as I picked up the salt shaker I open it and poured the whole salt shaker on the tomatoes ugh what was I thinking

You made my day! I hope you are able to resolve the issue. Just know that we all have those moments...

That was a close call!

It'll be nice and warm. Just stitch slowly!

just make sure that your rows/columns are within the quilting limits of the new batting. You sure don't want it to shift thru use or laundering.

I have read threads here where a quilter has doubled the batting on purpose, so I would think it must be something that works. Don't worry about senior moments. They keep things interesting...(and we all have them).

I would never want to force my old Bernina to stitch thru two layers of batting but if you are careful, hopefully everything will turn out OK. As Dina said, we ALL HAVE THEM like it or not!! :)
