You are in good company! I have done that and after searching for the missing piece, cutting out another, I found the missing one, sewn onto the back of another :shock:

Certainly not me (hee hee hee) but a very good friend of mine has lost the center medallion to her hand appliqued Baltimore Album quilt.

Still under the presser foot. :roll:

I have done that one, and feel so silly, looking for the missing block, and finally finding it, sewn in with another one. Luckily, it wasn't too hard to unsew and do right.

Oh Yeah I lost/found a block once...It was "attached" to my fleece top, I couldn't see it till I took the top off. Boy, did I tear that room apart too! It was SOOO close, yet SOOO far away :oops:

nope. you are definitely not the only one. :lol:
The worst is when you sew two triangles thick on one side of a block and all the other sides the correct single layer and don't find it until it is sewed into a row! J

I once lost a whole row and had to stitch another row, got the quilt all put together and yup there it was! Of course I didn't like the look of the new row but it was too late to disassemble the quilt. Oh well live & learn. Have I learned my lesson? NO! I still do it once in a while.
