Sounds like maybe she didn't want to quilt any more for everyone....and this was her statement....tell them to give it back you want to fix a few spots. it is very pretty :D

It's a very pretty quilt and I'm still trying to figure out WHY she did what she did. It's starting to give me a headache, so I'm not going to think about it anymore except to maybe think she thought she made a NEW pattern?

I would have gone for the Jugular! :evil:

Bizarre!

I couldn't possibly state it any better than anyone who already has posted!

Wow. Strange. That was my "see something new every day" for today. :shock:

It's a gorgeous center--I just love those stars. And the colors. :!: :!:

Hey, Janeen how did you get the photo in the middle of your text?

Wow what a nice quilt but I figured out why they did that :lol: That is the side that little ones will grab and hold on tight with there hand while sucking there thumb. Yeah, that's it. Okay not really but I tried. Otherwise such a beautiful quilt.

I am sorry for the inconsideration of the woman who did this to your beautiful quilt. Sometimes people act out in a manner that is odd to us...............I believe she is jelous of your quilting ability and feel inadiquate to yours. Maybe this is her way of weeding out the best of the group!

It's amazing to me that people will do "for charity" what they would not dream of doing for themselves. I have a client who works for a thrift shop, and he says that half of what they receive in charitable donations has to be thrown into the garbage.

Your quilt is beautiful -- even as it is. I just hope that this woman is not doing quilting for others (i.e., a business). But remember too that you had the joy of making a beautiful quilt, and the pleasure of giving it for someone else to enjoy. Sometimes we do things for the pleasure it gives US, rather than for the pleasure that someone else will get from it.

Also, don't discount the other ladies. THEY didn't do it. However, I would not allow this quilter to have access to any of my work.

I can't imagine why someone would do something like that to such a pretty quilt. Did you ask her about it? She has got to be a french frie short of a happy meal.
Is it possible to take off the binding and add the border to the other side or are you out of fabric? I know it would be a big job to do that but just thought I'd ask.

I don't have the quilt - it's in the hands of the 'group'

Believe me, I gave serious - very serious, consideration to doing just that - getting the quilt, taking that side aberration off and just binding that edge... but you know what? The more I thought about it the more I decided that, no, I'm not going to... why should I have to fix what she messed up?

This group has been around as a 'service' group for over 50 years and we are in the deep, deep south... and I guess they just don't want me and mine around.... (I have an adult handicapped daughter who also goes to the meetings - she is mildly mentally handicapped and is not obviously impaired - but is)
I talked to one of the women yesterday and asked her, "how am I supposed to react to this?" and her first words were 'don't let it run you out of the group'

well up until then I hadn't even thought about it like that, but ya know, sometimes I can be extremely naive and maybe that was the whole point???

if so, it's probably been very effective and successful :!: :mrgreen:
