To my delight!...
 

Lovely surprise when I finished putting the borders on. How often does this happen! Usually its the other way around! :D

Wow, that's cutting it close.

For me, it is always the other way around--perhaps you should buy a lottery ticket today! :)

Once in a blue moon that happens!! But i do know what you mean.

lol, lucky you ;-)

Yay!!! I've done this once myself (a while back).

Wow, your lucky day. Always the other way around for me.

Lucky you! :thumbup:

Just yesterday I was finishing quilting a throw quilt, and when I was just 5" from being completely finished meandering, I ran out of bobbin thread. Gaaah! :hunf: I should've sewn faster! :p

Hee hee! :D

I would LOVE to see the rest of your quilt when you are done.

Hooray! I was beginning to think that it was a quilter's myth - that one day, some one would actually finish something without running out of thread 2" before the end ;)

How sweet is that?

Someone is on Santa's Nice List!!!

HAHAHA! Thank you for giving me a good laugh to start my day. This is always what happens to me....every time. Didn't know I just needed to sew faster! :D:D

Another reason to have an extra bobbin on hand. That may be the answer to a question of how much thread on spool and bobbin to use on the size quilt you made? Hmmmm!!!???

One of life's little 'happy moments'.

You must be living right. Happy day.

I have had that happen a few times. Always a pleasant surprise.

The few times I have had that happen, I have thought...."Well, I planned that well." Sat there for a minute feeling good about myself and then, of course, had to realize that I had just been lucky. :) It's good to be lucky sometimes though.

But, oh what a good feeling it is. I love your picture too, butter than words!

Perfect ending!:D Can we see the entire quilt? Please!
peace

You are right. It usually happens the other way around.

Yes, i want to see the quilt.

Looks like a lucky day for you!

I was thinking the same thing! Looks beautiful and so glad you had more than enough fabric, even if barely.

That is great timing!

Okay I can see the bobbin thread getting close at the end. Or the top thread. But BOTH top AND bobbin thread - at the same time???

Yeah, you'd better go buy a lottery ticket. :thumbup:

Awesome. Agree i want to see the whole quilt too.
