I was fmq while Oprah had Barbra and Redford on. Needless to say, my attention to my quilting was not at its fullest. My freehand quilting design is directional and I made it upside-down! Rippit, rippit, rippit. But, thanks to a great tip on this QB, I remembered that it is easier to unsew from the back side. So I rolled the quilt back so the backside of the quilting was on top of the roll... rippit, rippit. It was soooo much easier that way. Thanks QB!

Not hard ot fix, but it was Alex's fault!
