I hate to read instructions, I do stuff like that all the time.

One other thing - don't use invisible thread on baby quilts. If you happen to have a loop or large stitch, small fingers and toes can get caught and horrible things happen. We have a nurse involved on a machine quilting site I belong to. She has confirmed this.

The problem is that the threads doesn't break like cottons and polys will. The babies also don't know to pull their fingers and toes out of the loops.

No, there has never been a time when I have read something I was supposed to do after the fact. No way that would ever happen to this skimmer! I don't know how many times I have had egg on my face! :oops:

Been there done that :oops: beat myself with a wet noodle and got out the seam ripper :wink: :lol::lol::lol:

Too funny...me too!

You can always share your quilt with my group. We don't have any rules that must be followed for donated quilts. We are in need of 60 more quilts to fulfill a mission for York County Department of Social Services.

Okay, okay........I didn't want to beg......but.......

Seriously, we all make mistakes- I am an idiot too at times. It just part of being human.

Don't forget, we are not supposed to be perfect, just perfectly human! (Can you tell I have had many talks with myself about that?)

You'll find a solution, perhaps another charity. :-D :-D

Don't feel bad. It's the thought that counts and I'm sure some other charity can benefit from your pretty quilt. It will be loved and cherished by someone, so no worries. Sometimes we quilters get blinded by the rules when all people want is a comfy, cozy, handmade lovely. I know yours fits the bill!

Good thing you responded to my idiot mistake because you brought it to my attention that I'm suppose to zigzag the binding. I guess I missed that little tidbit too so thanks for the reminder hopefully it will keep me from being "the idiot" again!

Thanks everyone for all your help & support. At least i know i'm not the only one that does this although there are "some of you" who never, ever do this!!! ya right! I know I'll find a charity in my city that will be able to use it so it will be put to good use. thanks Shelly too for the infor about the babies getting their fingers & toes caught in the loops I never even thought of that. i usually don't make little quilts for babies. i go to the twin size so that i can make them for when they are a little older & be able to use them longer. good thing i cut out another quilt of the same fabric when i was cutting this one out. oh well, i guess that's life.
